PAP was used before PSA as a marker of PCa, and is an indicator of possible metastasis as I recall. It is a slower marker to respond to tumor growth than PSA, and is one reason why it was supplanted by PSA and imaging. The ULN is 2.0. I tested for PAP when first diagnosed, and with a PSA of 29, it still was in the normal range.
