The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. The enzyme is found across a multitude of organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike, with the same general function, but in different structural forms suitable to the environment they function in. Alkaline phosphatase is found in the periplasmic ...
In experiential studies, isoenzymes, which are distinct forms of alkaline phosphatase generated by these tumors, can raise the total volume of alkaline phosphatase in the blood. The Regan isoenzyme [clarification needed] [13] is one of the best studied [clarification needed] of these isoenzymes that is linked to several human cancers. Basically ...

There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue-nonspecific). The first three are located together on chromosome 2, whereas the tissue-nonspecific form is located on chromosome 1. The product of this gene is a membrane-bound glycosylated enzyme that is ...
3.) Isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase: [7] Six isoenzymes have been identified. The enzyme is a monomer, the isoenzymes are due to the differences in the carbohydrate content (sialic acid residues). The most important ALP isoenzymes are α 1-ALP, α 2-heat labile ALP, α 2-heat stable ALP, pre-β ALP and γ-ALP.
The AST/ALT ratio increases in liver functional impairment. In alcoholic liver disease, the mean ratio is 1.45, and mean ratio is 1.33 in post necrotic liver cirrhosis. Ratio is greater than 1.17 in viral cirrhosis, greater than 2.0 in alcoholic hepatitis, and 0.9 in non-alcoholic hepatitis.
This ability to catalyze a reaction with a secondary substrate is known as enzyme promiscuity, [1] and may have played a role in NPP's evolutionary history. [15] NPP's promiscuity enables the enzyme to share substrates with alkaline phosphatase (AP), another member of the alkaline phosphate superfamily. Alkaline phosphatase primarily hydrolyzes ...
They are categorized with the EC number 3.1.3. Examples include: acid phosphatase; alkaline phosphatase; fructose-bisphosphatase; glucose-6-phosphatase; phosphofructokinase-2; phosphoprotein phosphatase; calcineurin; 6-phytase
