Abstract

Phosphatic acid phosphatase (PAP) plays a key role in lipid metabolism and cell signalling. We propose to (1) purify the PAP1 isozyme to homogeneity; (2) study its molecular properties, particularly its substrate specificity; (3) clone and sequence cDNA encoding the polypeptide(s); (4) study molecular basis of its acute and chronic regulation by hormones and other effectors.
