Acid Phosphatase
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Hydrolase
01
Overview
Acid phosphatase is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate esters, releasing inorganic phosphate and an alcohol in acidic conditions. It is found across a wide range of organisms and has multiple isoforms with distinct tissue distributions. It plays roles in cellular catabolism, bone resorption, and phosphate mobilization. Elevated levels can serve as diagnostic markers for various diseases, including prostate cancer and bone disorders.
