Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityA phosphate monoester + H(2)O = an alcohol + phosphate.
CofactorName=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Note=Binds 2 iron ions per subunit.;
DiseaseSpondyloenchondrodysplasia with immune dysregulation (SPENCDI) [MIM:607944]: A disease characterized by vertebral and metaphyseal dysplasia, spasticity with cerebral calcifications, and strong predisposition to autoimmune diseases. The skeletal dysplasia is characterized by radiolucent and irregular spondylar and metaphyseal lesions that represent islands of chondroid tissue within bone. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21217752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21217755}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. ACP5 inactivating mutations result in a functional excess of phosphorylated osteopontin causing deregulation of osteopontin signaling and consequential autoimmune disease.
FunctionInvolved in osteopontin/bone sialoprotein dephosphorylation. Its expression seems to increase in certain pathological states such as Gaucher and Hodgkin diseases, the hairy cell, the B-cell, and the T-cell leukemias.
SimilarityBelongs to the metallophosphoesterase superfamily. Purple acid phosphatase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationLysosome.
SubunitExists either as monomer or, after proteolytic processing, as a dimer of two chains linked by disulfide bond(s). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1477968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15993892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1872798}.
