Scientific Data Images for Human Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP Antibody

Detection of Human Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human prostate tissue. PVDF Membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Human Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6240) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP at approximately 55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP antibody in Human Prostate by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP in Human Prostate.

Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Human Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6240) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hemotoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.

Background: Prostatic Acid Phosphatase/ACPP

ACPP (Acid phosphatase, prostate; also PAP and ACP3) is an approximately 50 kDa glycoprotein member of the histidine acid phosphatase family of enzymes. It exists as a 95‑100 kDa nondisulfide-linked homodimer that hydrolyzes phosphate esters under low pH to generate free phosphate. ACPP is expressed by prostate epithelium and pain-detecting spinal cord neurons. In the spinal cord, ACPP dephosphorylates AMP. This generates adenosine which acts as a strong analgesic agent. Mature human ACPP is 354 amino acids (aa) in length (aa 33-386). It contains one histidine phosphatase domain (aa 34-332), plus a nucleophile acceptor site at His44, and a proton donor site at Asp290. There are two potential alternative splice variants. One shows a deletion of aa 153-185, while another is transmembrane (previously called TMPase) and shows a 38 aa substitution for the C-terminal seven amino acids. Over aa 33-379, human ACPP shares 84% aa identity with mouse ACPP.
