Abstract
Summary and Conclusions
Three male genital tract acid phosphatases, from human seminal plasma, rat preputial gland and guinea pig seminal vesicle, show a high degree of similarity in their pH-activity curves, Michaelis constants, and reactions to certain anions and organic substances. As a group these enzymes are fluoride-, tungstate-, molybdate-, oxalate-, L-tartrate-, and ethanol-sensitive and formaldehyde-resistant. All are activated by serum albumin, the preputial enzyme less than the other two.
