ACP5

acid phosphatase 5, tartrate resistant

Acid phosphatase 5, tartrate resistant (ACP5) encodes tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 (TRAP/TR-AP), an iron-containing acid phosphatase. Human ACP5 maps to NCBI Gene 54 and reviewed UniProtKB P13686; this target record links the verified biology to related ABMIUM catalogue products.

About ACP5

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

ACP5/TRAP catalyses phosphate-monoester hydrolysis and is distinguished from other acid phosphatases by resistance to L(+)-tartrate inhibition. Reviewed UniProt describes tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 in osteopontin and bone sialoprotein dephosphorylation, supporting its established connection to bone and osteoclast biology.

Experimental context

Research context

ACP5, also called TRAP or tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5, is studied in osteoclast differentiation, bone remodelling and resorption, macrophage-lineage biology, and conditions in which ACP5 expression or activity changes.
