SYNONYMS
Acylphosphatase-1, Acylphosphatase, erythrocyte isozyme, Acylphosphatase, organ-common type isozyme, Acylphosphate phosphohydrolase 1, ACYP1, ACYPE.
INTRODUCTION
Erythrocyte acylphosphatase (ACYP1) is a cytosolic enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the carboxyl-phosphate bond of acylphosphates. There are two acylphophatase isoenzymes: ACYP1 and ACYP2. These isoenzymes share 60% homology and have the same substrate specificity, even though ACYP1 has a higher catalytic activity than ACYP2.
DESCRIPTION
ACYP1 Human Recombinant fused with a 23 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 122 amino acids (1-99 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 13.6kDa. The ACYP1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
