Description
Acid phosphatases (APase) are a family of enzymes that non-specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of monoesters and anhydrides of phosphoric acid to produce inorganic phosphate at an optimum pH of 4 to 7. Acid phosphatase from potatoes is a 111 kDa diner consisting of two subunits at 41 and 35 kDa. This phosphatase has also been shown to cleave DNA.

9001-77-8
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of p-nitrophenyl phosphate per min at pH 4.8 at 37°C. Prostatic acid phosphatase activity is the difference between the total acid phosphatase activity and the acid phosphatase activity in the presence of 20 mM tartrate.
