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. Prostatic ACP (PSAP) is produced by the prostate<br />. It is found in increased amounts in patients who have prostate<br /> 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. | ||
