Background Descriptions | Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium. This gene is upregulated by androgens and is down-regulated by estrogens in the prostate cancer cell line. ACPT dephosphorylates receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-4 and inhibits the ligand-induced proteolytic cleavage. ACPT is predominantly expressed in testis but exhibits a lower level of expression in testicular cancer tissues than in normal tissues. ACPT has structural similarity to prostatic and lysosomal acid phosphatases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. |

Function | May dephosphorylate receptor tyrosine-protein kinase ERBB4 and inhibits its ligand-induced proteolytic cleavage (PubMed:15219672). May play a role in odontogenesis (PubMed:27843125). |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed mainly in the testis. Also expressed in the brain where they are enriched at the postsynaptic sites. Expressed at lower levels in the trachea, prostate, bone marrow, spinal cord, colon, fetal brain, heart, thymus, fetal liver, spleen, leukocytes, ovary, small intestine, pancreas and skeletal muscle. Expression is significantly lower in testicular cancer tissues than in normal testicular tissues. Isoform 3 is expressed in the testis, trachea, prostate and bone marrow. |
