A robust immunoassay for pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 based on analysis of circulating antigen: establishment of normal ranges in pregnancy
25 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and PAPP-A2, two homologous metzincin metalloproteases, are both tightly linked to regulation within the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system because of their specific cleavage of IGF binding proteins. Recent studies suggest that PAPP-A may be involved in clinical conditions related to unwanted cellular growth, and the circulating levels of PAPP-A is an...
