Description: Acid phosphatases are a broad family of enzymes that differ widely in their amino acid length and homology, molecular weight and tissue of origin. They function to remove phosphate groups (or dephosphorylate) from proteins and perform best under acidic conditions. Disease states are sometimes characterized by abnormally high or low levels of Acid Phosphatase, leading to them being used as serological and histological disease markers. Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP) was initially used as a prostate cancer marker but was later replaced with Prostate Serum Antigen (PSA), a more sensitive early stage cancer marker.
Immunogen: The amino acid sequence used as immunogen for this antibody is specific to isoforms 2 (or B) and E of Acid Phosphatase.
Storage: Aliquot the Acid Phosphatase antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
