ACP5 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 310 amino acids (22-325 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 35.1kDa.
ACP5 is fused to a 6 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
ACP5 is an iron-containing glycoprotein and is unique among acid phosphatases because it is not inhibited by L(+)-tartrate . The enzyme plays a crucial role in the dephosphorylation of osteopontin and bone sialoprotein, which are important for bone metabolism . It is also involved in various physiological and pathological processes, including bone resorption, immune response, and the development of certain diseases such as Gaucher and Hodgkin diseases, as well as various leukemias .
The recombinant form of ACP5, tagged with a polyhistidine (His) tag, is produced using DNA sequences encoding the human enzyme. This recombinant protein is typically expressed in host cells such as HEK293 cells, which are human embryonic kidney cells . The His tag facilitates the purification of the protein through affinity chromatography, ensuring high purity and activity .
