NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue non-specific). The first three are located together on chromosome 2, while the tissue non-specific form is located on chromosome 1. The product of this gene is a membrane bound glycosylated enzyme that is not expressed in any particular tissue and is, therefore, referred to as the tissue-nonspecific form of the enzyme. The exact physiological function of the alkaline phosphatases is not known. A proposed function of this form of the enzyme is matrix mineralization; however, mice that lack a functional form of this enzyme show normal skeletal development. This enzyme has been linked directly to hypophosphatasia, a disorder that is characterized by hypercalcemia and includes skeletal defects. The character of this disorder can vary, however, depending on the specific mutation since this determines age of onset and severity of symptoms. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
Uniprot Description
Function: This isozyme may play a role in skeletal mineralization.
Catalytic activity: A phosphate monoester + H2O = an alcohol + phosphate.
Cofactor: Binds 1 magnesium ion
By similarity.Binds 2 zinc ions
Subunit structure: Homodimer.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor › GPI-anchor Ref.10 Ref.11.
Post-translational modification: Glycosylated. Ref.9 Ref.12
Involvement in disease: Defects in ALPL are a cause of hypophosphatasia (HOPS) [
MIM:146300]. HOPS is an inherited metabolic bone disease characterized by defective skeletal mineralization. Four hypophosphatasia forms are distinguished, depending on the age of onset: perinatal, infantile, childhood and adult type. The perinatal form is the most severe and is almost always fatal. Patients with only premature loss of deciduous teeth, but with no bone disease are regarded as having odontohypophosphatasia (odonto).

MIM:241510].Defects in ALPL are a cause of hypophosphatasia infantile type (HOPSI) [
MIM:241500].
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the alkaline phosphatase family.
Sequence caution: The sequence BAD93051.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

AAA Biotech's Alkaline Phosphatase can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Specific methodologies have not been tested using this product. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AP alpl for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Alkaline Phosphatase, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
