NCIt definition : Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5b (325 aa, 37 kDa) is encoded by the human
ACP5 gene. This protein is involved in acid phosphatase activity and is comprised
of two disulfide linked polypeptides which are the result of proteolytic cleavage
of the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 protein.;
NCIt note : Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5b is predominantly secreted by osteoclasts
and is a potential marker for both bone resorption and bone metastasis. (http://www.intermedico.com/userfiles/file/products/chemistry/IDS/trapwp.pdf);
