Research context & evidence
Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.
ACP3/prostatic acid phosphatase is a histidine acid phosphatase that hydrolyses phosphate monoesters under acidic conditions and can dephosphorylate phosphorylated substrates. Alternative forms of the protein include secreted and membrane-associated isoforms, supporting research into extracellular phosphatase and nucleotide-metabolism biology.
ACP3, prostatic acid phosphatase and PAP are studied in prostate biology, phosphatase activity, extracellular nucleotide metabolism and tissue-marker research.
