ACPT Antibody

Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium. This gene is up-regulated by androgens and is down-regulated by estrogens in the prostate cancer cell line. This gene exhibits a lower level of expression in testicular cancer tissues than in normal tissues. ACPT has structural similarity to prostatic and lysosomal acid phosphatases.Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium.

This gene exhibits a lower level of expression in testicular cancer tissues than in normal tissues. The protein encoded by this gene has structural similarity to prostatic and lysosomal acid phosphatases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store ACPT antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

ACPT antibody can be used for detection of ACPT by ELISA at 1:1562500. ACPT antibody can be used for detection of ACPT by western blot at 0.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
