Preparation and Storage

Background: Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP

Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (ACPP) catalyzes the hydrolysis of a variety of phosphate monoesters, including phosphorylated proteins (1). The activity optimum of ACPP is in the pH range of 4 - 6, and the activity is inhibited by L(+)-tartrate. ACPP expression levels are highest in the prostate, with much lower expression in most other tissues. ACPP is a type I integral membrane protein of the plasma membrane and lysosomes, and a secreted form also exists (2). The concentration of ACPP is elevated in the circulation of prostate cancer patients, making the enzyme a marker for the progression of prostate cancer (3). Cellular ACPP has been shown to be a protein tyrosine phosphatase (4). Protein substrates include the epidermal growth factor receptor and HER-2 (5). Cellular ACPP is considered to function as a tumor suppressor (5).
