Overview

Lee Biosolutions is the leading producer and supplier of human gastric Pepsinogen I (A) antigen as a cancer marker for medical research, clinical and biomedical manufacturing.

Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available, email Info@leebio.com for more details.

Human Pepsinogens are aspartic proteases produced in the gastric mucosa and secreted into the gastric lumen that play a major role in the digestion of proteins after activation of acidic pH. It is synthesized as isoymogens and are classified into two groups, Pepsinogen I and Pepsinogen II).

Human PGA and PGC antigen have been investigated as a possible biomarker for early detection of, Gastric cancer (GC), adenoma (GA) and severe atrophic (diffuse or patchy) corpus gastritis.

It has been reported that human Pepsinogen I (PGA) levels were lower in atrophic corpus gastritis than in atrophic antral gastritis, and human pepsinogen I(PGA) levels were lower in advanced gastric cancer than early stage gastric cancer.
