Phosphatase Classification: Fold HP: Superfamily HP (histidine phosphatase): Family HP, branch 2: Subfamily ACP2

Evolution

ACP2 is found in holozoa, amoebozoa and some protists, but is absent from some fungi and most plants. There are usually multiple copies per genome. For example, human and fruit fly have 3 and 5 copies, respectively.

Domain

ACP2 has either transmembrane region or signal peptide cleavage site at N terminus.

Functions

Human 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].
