Background Information
Lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase type 6 (ACP6) is an LPA-specific acid phosphatase that hydrolyzes LPA to monoacylglycerol (MAG) and phosphate. Previous studies have shown that ACP6 is localized in the mitochondria with ubiquitous expression throughout all tissues, and high expression levels in kidney, heart, small intestine, muscle, and liver. Through specifi cally hydrolyzing LPA, ACP6 regulates mitochondrial lipid biosynthesis, thereby controlling important mitochondrial functions. It was also shown that ACP6 might be involved in tumor progression, suggesting that ACP6 could be a good candidate marker for the prognosis of esophageal cancer. Uniprot showed that by alternative splicing, ACP6 may have two kinds of shear fragments with molecular weights of 49 and 31kDa respectively. (PMID: 23807634)
