Description
Product Characteristics:
Involved in osteopontin/bone sialoprotein dephosphorylation. Its expression seems to increase in certain pathological states such as Gaucher and Hodgkin diseases, the hairy cell, the B-cell, and the T-cell leukemias.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: TRAP, SPENCDI, Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5, TR-AP, Tartrate-resistant acid ATPase, TrATPase, Type 5 acid phosphatase, ACP5, TRACP5a, TRACP5b
Target Information: This gene encodes an iron containing glycoprotein which catalyzes the conversion of orthophosphoric monoester to alcohol and orthophosphate. It is the most basic of the acid phosphatases and is the only form not inhibited by L(+)-tartrate. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
