ACP2

Lysosomal acid phosphatase is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ACP2 is_associated_with::gene.

Lysosomal is_associated_with::acid phosphatase is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, and is chemically and genetically distinct from is_associated_with::red cell acid phosphatase. Lysosomal acid phosphatase 2 is a member of a family of distinct isoenzymes which hydrolyze is_associated_with::orthophosphoric monoesters to is_associated_with::alcohol and is_associated_with::phosphate. is_associated_with::Acid phosphatase deficiency is caused by is_associated_with::mutations in the ACP2 (beta subunit) and is_associated_with::ACP3 (alpha subunit) genes.
