We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

| - | '''Acid phosphatase''' (ACP, EC number [http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/php/result_flat.php4?ecno=3.1.3.2 3.1.3.2]) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from other molecules during digestion. It catalyzes the conversion of orthophosphoric monoester and H<sub>2</sub>O to alcohol and phosphoric acid. The enzyme is most effective in acidic environment, hence its name.<ref>PMID: | + | '''Acid phosphatase''' (ACP, EC number [http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/php/result_flat.php4?ecno=3.1.3.2 3.1.3.2]) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from other molecules during digestion.
