Acid Phosphatase Assay KitCayman Chemical Item Number 10008051 
Acid Phosphatase Assay Kit
Description
Acid phosphatases (APs) are members of the hydrolase class of enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of orthophosphate monoesters under acidic conditions.1 The concentration of human APs undergo pronounced changes in particular diseases, resulting in unusually high or low concentrations. Thus, AP levels are often used as clinical markers of disease. The levels of prostate acid phosphatase (PAP) have long been used as an indicator of prostate cancer, while an increased level of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is often indicative of bone disease.1,2 Cayman’s Acid Phosphatase Assay Kit provides a convenient method for detecting AP activity in plasma, serum, urine, and semen. The assay utilizes para-
