Abstract excerpt
Lysosomal acid phosphatase (LAP) is a tartrate-sensitive enzyme with ubiquitous expression. Neither the physiological substrates nor the functional significance is known. Mice with a deficiency of LAP generated by targeted disruption of the LAP gene are fertile and develop normally. Microscopic examination of various peripheral organs revealed progredient lysosomal storage in podocytes and tubular epithelial...
