Native Human Placenta Alkaline Phosphatase

Specification

• Cat#: THP-198
• Product Name: Native Human Placenta Alkaline Phosphatase
• Description: Alkaline phosphatases (APs) are highly ubiquitous enzymes, present in all species from bacteria to man. In humans, APs are encoded by a multi-gene family composed of four loci; i.e., tissue-nonspecific AP, also called bone/liver/kidney AP, (Weiss et al, J. Biol. Chem., 264, 12002-12010, 1988), intestinal (Henthorn et. al., J.Biol. Chem., 263, 12020-12027, 1988). The sequence and complexity of the AP genes from other vertebrates and lower species are now being elucidated. The biological function of AP isozymes is still unknown. In vitro, the enzymes behave as phosphotransferases at neutral pH.
