Gene information for ACPP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55
Official gene symbolACPP
Full nameacid phosphatase, prostate
Aliases,ACP-3,ACP3,PAP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of orthophosphoric monoester to alcohol and orthophosphate. It is synthesized under androgen regulation and is secreted by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. An alternatively spliced transcript variant encoding a longer isoform has been found for this gene. This isoform contains a transmembrane domain and is localized in the plasma membrane-endosomal-lysosomal pathway. [provided by RefSeq]
