Description 

Acid Phosphatase Colorimetric Assay Kit

Product overview 

Acid Phosphatase Colorimetric Assay Kit is a high sensitivity, simple, direct and HTS-ready colorimetric assay designed to measure Acid Phosphatase (AP) activity in serum and other samples. It is suitable for research and drug discovery. The kit uses p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) as a phosphatase substrate which turns yellow (Lambda max = 405 nm) when dephosphorylated by AP. The kit can detect µU acid phosphatase activity in samples.

Relevance 

Acid phosphatases (AP) dephosphorylate phosphate groups from phosphate esters under acid conditions. Different acid phosphatase isozymes are found in different organs, and their serum levels are used as a diagnostic for disease in the corresponding organs. Elevated prostatic acid phosphatase levels may indicate the presence of prostate cancer and elevated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase levels may indicate bone disease.
