Biochemical properties of human prostatic acid phosphatase.

چکیده
The electrophoretic pattern (in polyacrylamide gel) for acid phosphatases in the prostate gland was compared with that for other tissues. lsoenzyme 2 predominates in the prostate. The isoenzyme was isolated from the prostate and its biochemical properties were compared with those of acid phosphatases isolated from spleen. lsoenzyme 2 has a molecular weight of about 100,000. Its optimum pH is between 5 and 7, unlike other lysosomal enzymes. Its substrate specificity is not very much different from those of the most active isoenzymes of acid phosphatase in other tissues. Our results contraindicate the use of a specific substrate in the analysis of prostatic acid phosphatases. Determination of the isoenzyme pattern is a new approach in the specific analysis of prostatic acid phosphatases.

Serum Biochemical and Hematological Parameters in Dogs with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
BACKGROUND: Clinical prostatic diseases occur in 80% of dogs over 5 and 95% over 9 years of age. . It seems that benign prostatic hyperplasia) BPH) affect Scottish terriers more severely than the other breeds. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the changes of biochemical and hematological parameters in BPH dogs. METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 10 male dogs older than five year...
متن کاملP-10: Effects of Cadmium on Reproductive Enzymes of Blood and Reproductive Tissues in Adult Male Mice
Background: Heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd2+) are natural components of the Earth's crust which can not be degraded or destroyed. Industrial, mining and agricultural activities, particularly the excessive use of phosphate fertilizers, have led to high levels of cadmium contamination at many locations worldwide. Some toxic effects of cadmium are due to its inhibition of various enzyme sys...
متن کاملImmunochemical quantitation of prostatic phosphatase.
As in most forms of cancer, early diagnosis of prostatic cancer is crucial for a high curability rate. A number of biochemical tests are now available to help identify suspected prostatic cancer in the patient by measuring the activity of acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) in the patient’s serum. Multiple forms of human acid phosphatase have been described in different organs, but the richest source...
متن کاملProstatic acid phosphatase degrades lysophosphatidic acid in seminal plasma.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator with multiple biological activities and is detected in various biological fluids, including human seminal plasma. Due to its cell proliferation stimulatory and anti-apoptotic activities, LPA has been implicated in the progression of some cancers such as ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. Here, we show that prostatic acid phosphatase, which is a n...
متن کاملHuman prostatic acid phosphatase has phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase activity.
The major secreted isoenzyme of human prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP) (EC 3.1.3.2), which catalyses p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) hydrolysis at acid pH values, was found to have phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase activity since it dephosphorylated three different phosphotyrosine-containing protein substrates. Several lines of evidence are presented to show that the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase...
