CanAg SCC EIA (RUO)

This product is available for Research Use Only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC ag) is a group of glycoproteins with molecular weight ~45 kDa, belonging to the family of serine/cysteineprotease inhibitors1. The protein was originally isolated by Kato and coworkers from human squamous cell carcinoma tissue and shown to consist of at least 10 subfractions differing in isoelectric point2. More recent studies have shown that SCC antigen is composed of two distinct but highly homologous gene products, SCCA1 and SCCA2, with different inhibitor specificities3.
