Human Acid Phosphatase 5, Tartrate Resistant (ACP5) ELISA Kit

Quantify Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase (ACP5) levels with this colorimetric immunoassay from Assay Genie, supplied as a 96-assay microplate kit for research use only. The lysosomal enzyme ACP5 is secreted by activated osteoclasts during bone resorption, making it a key biomarker for studies of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and bone-metastatic cancers. Researchers apply the assay to various human-derived matrices including tissue homogenates to monitor osteoclast activity and evaluate anti-resorptive drug candidates. The absorbance-based readout avoids radioisotopes and provides quantitative results across a standard microplate format. ACP5 isoform 5b is osteoclast-specific, while isoform 5a derives from macrophages and dendritic cells, allowing differential profiling of bone turnover versus inflammatory processes. Each kit includes pre-coated wells and all reagents needed for complete runs, supporting reproducible measurement in clinical and basic research laboratories working on in vitro applications.
