ACYP1

Acylphosphatase-1 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in is_associated_with::humans is encoded by the ACYP1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Acylphosphatase is a small is_associated_with::cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the is_associated_with::hydrolysis of the is_associated_with::carboxyl-is_associated_with::phosphate bond of acylphosphates. Two is_associated_with::isoenzymes have been isolated, called is_associated_with::muscle is_associated_with::acylphosphatase and is_associated_with::erythrocyte acylphosphatase, on the basis of their tissue localization. This gene encodes the erythrocyte acylphosphatase isoenzyme. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins were identified through data analysis.
