Description
Prostatic Acid Phosphatase or ACPP is part of a family of proteins called histidine acid phosphatase. ACPP enhances the hydrolyzation of many phosphate monoesters and proteins that are phosphorylated. In order to function best, ACPP needs a range of range of 4-6 pH, furthermore, L(+)-tartrate inhibits ACPP's catalyzation. This enzyme can act as a lipid phosphatase as well and can inhibit lysophosphatidic acid in seminal plasma.
ACPP Mouse produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 356 amino acids (32-381 aa) and having a molecular mass of 41.3kDa. ACPP is fused to a 6 amino acid His tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
