Phosphatase Family HP2
From PhosphataseWiki
Phosphatase Classification: Histidine phosphatase superfamily: HP, branch2 family
One subfamily in this family has been reported as protein phosphatases. See Pfam ID PF00328 for general information.
ACPP
ACPP (acid phosphatase, prostate) is a prostate epithelium-specific differentiation antigen, and is decreased in prostate carcinomas. It has been show to downregulate prostate cell growth by dephosphorylating phosphotyrosine on c-ErbB-2, an oncoprotein in prostate cells [1]. His-12 and Asp-258 of ACPP, but not Cys-183 or Cys-281, are required for the phosphatase activity [2]. ACPP and its paralog ACP2 is found in metazoan, choanoflagellida, amoebozoa and some protists, but is absent from fungi and plants.
