Distribution of alkaline phosphatase in the serum proteins in hypophosphatasia.
نویسنده
چکیده
A patient with hypophosphatasia and her relatives, including an affected brother, were studied with regard to serum alkaline phosphatase levels, phosphoethanolamine excretion, leucocyte alkaline phosphatase, blood group genes, and alkaline phosphatase distribution in the serum protein fractions. The pattern of alkaline phosphatase distribution in the serum protein fractions was normal both in the clinically affected patients and in their relatives. Thus the electrophoretic mobility of serum alkaline phosphatases is not altered in hypophosphatasia. The mere presence of phosphoethanolamine in the urine was of no help in detecting heterozygotes for the hypophosphatasia gene(s), as this substance was also found in control urines.

Serum Alkaline Phosphatase
phatase may reflect enzyme contributions from bone, liver, and intestine. We have investigated serum alkaline phosphatases in two siblings with hypophosphatasia. After administration of long-chain triglycerides, the major alkaline phosphatase component of their sera was shown to be of intestinal origin on the basis of inhibition by l-phenylalanine. Starch block electrophoresis suggested that th...
متن کاملEthanolamine phosphate excretion in a family with hypophosphatasia.
Hypophosphatasia is an inherited disorder of bone, which is thought to be transmitted by a recessive gene. The homozygous form of the disease presents with a well-defined clinical picture and two biochemical abnormalities: lowered serum alkaline phosphatase and excessive urinary excretion of ethanolamine phosphate (EAP). Heterozygous carriers are usually not manifest clinically, but it has been...
متن کاملA Case of Vitamin D Deficiency without Elevation of Serum Alkaline Phosphatase in a Carrier of Hypophosphatasia
Elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a screening marker for the diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency, which may fail to be diagnosed if serum ALP is not elevated. Here, we describe a case of vitamin D deficiency without elevation of serum ALP. A 1-year-old Japanese girl was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of genu varum. Her serum intact PTH level was elevated, while her serum A...
متن کاملRelationship between serum alkaline phosphatase and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate levels in hypophosphatasia.
1. Hypophosphatasia is a disorder characterized by low serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and a range of skeletal deformities. The levels of a number of phosphorylated metabolites, namely phosphoethanolamine and pyrophosphate, are characteristically raised. Levels of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) have also been reported to be raised. 2. Hypophosphatasia is a rare disease and experience o...
متن کاملGenetic evaluations of Chinese patients with odontohypophosphatasia resulting from heterozygosity for mutations in the tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase gene
BACKGROUND Hypophosphatasia is a rare heritable metabolic disorder characterized by defective bone and tooth mineralization accompanied by a deficiency of tissue-non-specific (liver/bone/kidney) isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase activity, caused by a number of loss-of-function mutations in the alkaline phosphatase liver type gene. We seek to explore the clinical manifestations and identify the ...
