Description
ACPP, also known as Prostatic Acid Phosphatase, is a member of histidine acid phosphatase family. Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP catalyzes the hydrolysis of a variety of phosphate monoesters, including phosphorylated proteins. The activity optimum of Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP is in the pH range of 4 - 6, and the activity is inhibited by L(+)-tartrate. It has also lipid phosphatase activity and inactivates lysophosphatidic acid in seminal plasma. Recombinant mouse Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
