'''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.

Acid phosphatase (ACP, EC number 3.1.3.2) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from other molecules during digestion. It catalyzes the conversion of orthophosphoric monoester and H2O to alcohol and phosphoric acid. The enzyme is most effective in acidic environment. Prostatic ACP (PSAP) is produced by the prostate. It is found in increased amounts in patients who have prostate cancer. Purple ACP (PAP) contain a dinuclear Fe center and their oxidized for in solution maintains a purple color. Histidine ACP (HAP) catalyze the transfer of phosphoryl group using an active-site histidine.
