Acid phosphatase 3 (ACP3), commonly known as Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), is a secreted phosphatase produced predominantly by prostate epithelial cells. The enzyme belongs to the histidine acid phosphatase family and functions as a glycoprotein capable of hydrolyzing phosphate esters under acidic conditions. ACP3 is highly enriched in prostate glandular epithelium and is secreted into seminal fluid, where it contributes to enzymatic activity within the prostate microenvironment. ACP3 Antibody for IHC / Acid phosphatase 3 (clone ACPP/2472) recognizes this prostate-associated enzyme and is designed for research focused on tissue detection of PAP expression.
ACP3 Antibody for IHC is particularly useful for immunohistochemistry analysis of prostate tissue and prostate cancer. In FFPE tissue sections, Acid phosphatase 3 immunohistochemistry typically demonstrates cytoplasmic staining in prostate epithelial cells and prostate tumor cells, reflecting the secretory nature of PAP within glandular epithelial compartments. This staining pattern is frequently used in prostate pathology research to identify prostate-derived epithelial cells and to evaluate differentiation of prostate carcinoma tissues.
Prostatic acid phosphatase has long been recognized as an important biomarker of prostate epithelial differentiation. Prior to the development of prostate-specific antigen testing, PAP served as one of the earliest biochemical markers used in studies of prostate cancer. Although PSA later became more widely used clinically, PAP remains a valuable research marker for prostate epithelial lineage and prostate tumor characterization. In immunohistochemistry studies, detection of ACP3 expression can help distinguish prostate epithelial cells and prostate-derived tumors from other epithelial malignancies.
ACP3 Antibody for IHC (clone ACPP/2472) is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed to recognize Prostatic acid phosphatase in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues and other histological samples used in laboratory research. Antibodies directed against Acid phosphatase 3 are commonly used to examine prostate glandular differentiation, study prostate cancer tissue architecture, and evaluate expression of prostate-associated proteins in tissue sections.
Because PAP expression is largely restricted to prostate epithelial cells, immunohistochemical detection using ACP3 antibodies provides a reliable approach for studying prostate tissue identity, prostate tumor differentiation, and prostate cancer biology. These features make ACP3 Antibody for IHC a valuable reagent for research involving prostate tissue staining and prostate cancer immunohistochemistry analysis.
Optimal dilution of the ACP3 Antibody for IHC should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant full-length human protein was used as the immunogen for the ACP3 Antibody for IHC.
Aliquot the ACP3 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
