In formalin-fixed rat liver, acid phosphatase activity is localized in peribiliary granules in the hepatic cells and in the Kupffer cells. The... 

Mouse liver acid phosphatase is localized in the Kupffer cells in contrast to the alkaline phosphatase activity which is largely confined to the endothelial linings of the sinusoids. Under the conditions in which the activity of the reticuloendothelial system is enhanced, both enzymic activities are increased (97, 98).

This solution was then applied to a column (72 X 3.3 cm) of Dowex 50 X-2 which had been equilibrated with the citrate phosphate buffer (B23). Elution was carried out successively with a citrate phosphate buffer of pH 5.0 and 6.00. About 50 fractions with a volume of 5-7 ml were collected. Two sharp peaks of protein concentration were obtained at about tubes 5-15 and tubes 27-29. The acid phosphatase activity was localized only in the second peak and represented a 10-fold purification. 

It has been estimated that approximately 70-80% of the acid phosphatase in rat liver can be recovered in the lysosomal fraction, the remainder being distributed between the soluble fraction and other sub-cellular fractions (D9, S15). The question therefore arises concerning the extent to which this remainder is derived from lysosomes broken during the fractionation procedure or whether some acid phosphatase is actually localized in subcellular structures, other than lysosomes. 

Electron microscopic studies of rat prostatic epithelium, showed acid phosphatase to be present largely in localized areas of the cytoplasmic matrix, lacking in many cases structures which would be comparable...
