Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the history related to the isolation and characterization of the prostatic tumor marker prostate- specific antigen. The early detection of prostate cancer affords a potential cure, which underscores the importance of the prostate-specific antigen. Biochemical and clinical properties of the molecule also are described.
