Gene: [03q2/ACPPS] acid phosphatase, prostate-specific;

FUN

The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of monoethers of orthophosphoric acid and provides transphosphorylation. A physiologic role of this isoform in the prostate is not clear yet."

ASS

Isolation of this isoform of acid phosphatase is important in diagnosis of the prostate tumors."

FAG

Genes for other isoforms of acid phosphatase have been identified. Those are erythrocytic (GEM:02p25/ACP1), lysosomal (GEM:11p11/ACP2), and tartrate-resistant (GEM:19p132/ACP5) isoforms."
