Gene information for ACP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID53
Official gene symbolACP2
Full nameacid phosphatase 2, lysosomal
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the beta subunit of lysosomal acid phosphatase (LAP). LAP is chemically and genetically distinct from red cell acid phosphatase. The encoded protein belongs to a family of distinct isoenzymes which hydrolyze orthophosphoric monoesters to alcohol and phosphate. Mutations in this gene or in the related alpha subunit gene cause acid phosphatase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
