Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium. This gene is up-regulated by androgens and is down-regulated by estrogens in the prostate cancer cell line. This gene exhibits a lower level of expression in testicular cancer tissues than in normal tissues. ACPT has structural similarity to prostatic and lysosomal acid phosphatases.Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium.

Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.1) Fleisig, H., (2004) Neuroscience 127 (1), 91-100.
