Abstract
Acid phosphatase has been demonstrated ultrastructurally in 3T3 and SV40-3T3 mouse cells using sodium beta-glycerophosphate and p-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate. The former substrate only demonstrates the enzyme in lysosomes and elements of the Golgi apparatus while the latter demonstrates it in the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cell surface as well as at lysosomal sites. The significance of surface acid phosphatase activity is discussed in terms of sublethal autolysis.Entities:
