Acid phosphatase in Gaucher's disease.
Increased acid phosphatase activity in the serum and tissues of patients with Gaucher's disease has now been recognized for two decades, but as yet no relation has been established between the enzyme and the etiology and progress of the disease. Here, we review results obtained by various investigators, ranging from a consideration of the methods used for the evaluation of serum acid phosphatas...
متن کاملGauchers disease presenting with portal hypertension.
Gauchers disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by abnormal accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages in different organs. Though hepatosplenomegaly is commonly found, symptomatic presentation with portal hypertension is rare. We report a child with liver cirrhosis and bleeding esophageal varices who was diagnosed with Gaucher's disease.
متن کاملCharacterization of Acid Phosphatase in the Promastigotes of Three Isolates of Leishmania major
Background: Acid phosphatase (ACP) is suggested to be one of the virulence factors in leishmania and a correlation has been reported between Leishmanial acid phosphatase (ACP) activity and the severity of the disease in all types of leishmaniasis including zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL), which is a polymorphic disease. Objective: Characterization of leishmania and its correlation with t...
متن کاملFunctional Assessment of an Overexpressed Arabidopsis Purple Acid Phosphatase Gene (Atpap26) in Tobacco Plants
Background: Overexpression of known genes encoding key phosphate (Pi)-metabolizing enzymes, such as acid phosphatases (APases), is presumed to help plants with Pi availability and absorption as they are mostly exposed to suboptimal environmental conditions for this vital element.Objectives: In this study, the overexpression effect of AtPAP26, one of the m...
متن کاملProstatic acid phosphatase in serum of patients with prostatic cancer is a specific phosphotyrosine acid phosphatase.
We developed an assay to measure at acid pH the phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity in sera from patients with prostatic cancer. The method used quantifies the inorganic phosphate liberated from phosphotyrosine after incubation with serum, followed by the deproteinization of the reaction mixture. A high acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) activity towards phosphotyrosine was observed in all sera fro...
