Serum haptoglobin appearance during neonatal period is associated with acid phosphatase (ACP1) phenotype

E Bottini et al. Early Hum Dev. 1985 Jan.

Abstract

Erythrocyte acid phosphatase (ACP1) is a polymorphic enzyme found in many tissues and acts in vivo as a flavin-mononucleotide phosphatase. We have recently observed a relation between this enzyme and length of gestation. The present study shows that the pattern of appearance of serum haptoglobin during the neonatal period is associated with ACP1 phenotype suggesting some important function of this polymorphic enzyme in human development.
