Alkaline Phosphatase, an Unconventional Immune Protein
Recent years have seen an increase in the number of studies focusing on alkaline phosphatases (APs), revealing an expanding complexity of function of these enzymes. Of the four human AP (hAP) proteins, most is known about tissue non-specific AP (TNAP) and intestinal AP (IAP). This review highlights current understanding of TNAP and IAP in relation to human health and disease. TNAP plays a role ...
متن کاملMacromolecular alkaline phosphatase and an immunoglobulin G that inhibited alkaline phosphatase in a patient's serum.
Macromolecular alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) was found in the serum of a patient suffering from myasthenia gravis (adult type II) complicated with thymoma, and was shown by immunoelectrophoresis to be bound to immunoglobulins A and G (IgG). Placental alkaline phosphatase, complexed with either the patient's serum or IgG purified from the patient's serum, remained at the origin on electropho...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro
CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...
متن کاملFluoride and Alkaline Phosphatase
Since serum alkaline phosphatase increases in fluoride therapy for osteoporosis, it is generally accepted that fluoride stimulates bone formation. However, histochemical studies have shown that alkaline phosphatase is also increased in resorbing osteocytes. Fluoride is toxic to metabolically active bone cells, alkaline phosphatase is released, and serum alkaline phosphatase increases. We propos...
متن کاملChicken Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase
Purified chicken intestinal alkaline phosphatase is active at pH 8 to 9, but becomes rapidly inactivated with change of pH to 6 or less. Also, a solution of the inactivated enzyme at pH 4.5 rapidly regains its activity at pH 8. In the range of pH 6 to 8 a solution of purified alkaline phosphatase consists of a mixture of active and inactive enzyme in equilibrium with each other. The rate of ina...
