Description

ALPL produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 493 amino acids (19-503 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 54.5kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 50-70kDa). ALPL is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
Alkaline Phosphatase Liver/Bone/Kidney (Alpl), a member of the alkaline phosphatases family, encompasses four related alkaline phosphatases. This membrane-bound and glycosylated enzyme lacks tissue-specific expression and plays a crucial role in skeletal mineralization.
Description
Produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells, ALPL is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain with 493 amino acids (19-503 a.a.) and a molecular mass of 54.5kDa. Note that its size on SDS-PAGE appears between 50-70kDa. The protein is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution, sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The ALPL protein solution (0.5mg/ml) is supplied in Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) with 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The specific activity, exceeding 46,000 pmol/min/ug, represents the enzyme's ability to hydrolyze 1 picomole of 4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate to phosphate and 4-Methylumbelliferone per minute at pH 8.8 and 25°C.
Synonyms
Alpl, Akp-2, Akp2, ALP, APTNAP, TNAP, TNSALP, HOPS, AP-TNAP, Alkaline phosphatase 2.

Product Science Overview

Classification and Isoforms

Alkaline phosphatase exists in multiple isoforms, each encoded by different genes and exhibiting tissue-specific expression. In humans, there are four distinct genes encoding alkaline phosphatases:

  1. ALPL: Encodes the liver/bone/kidney isozyme, also known as tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP).
  2. ALPI: Encodes the intestinal isozyme.
  3. ALPP: Encodes the placental isozyme.
  4. ALPPL2: Encodes the placental-like or germ cell isozyme .
Biological Properties and Functions

The liver/bone/kidney isozyme of alkaline phosphatase, encoded by the ALPL gene, is highly expressed in these tissues and plays a vital role in various biological processes:

  • Liver: Involved in metabolism and detoxification.
  • Bone: Essential for bone mineralization and skeletal development.
  • Kidney: Participates in phosphate regulation and renal function .
Recombinant Alkaline Phosphatase

Recombinant alkaline phosphatase is produced using genetic engineering techniques, where the gene encoding the enzyme is inserted into a host organism, such as bacteria or yeast, to produce the enzyme in large quantities. This recombinant form is used in research and clinical applications due to its high purity and consistency.

Applications in Research and Medicine

Recombinant alkaline phosphatase is widely used in various research and medical applications:

  • Diagnostic Marker: Elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase in the blood can indicate liver disease, bone disorders, or other health conditions .
  • Biochemical Research: Used to study enzyme kinetics, substrate specificity, and regulatory mechanisms.
  • Therapeutic Use: Investigated for potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic disorder affecting bone mineralization .
Regulatory Mechanisms

The activity of alkaline phosphatase is regulated by various factors, including:

  • Phosphate Levels: High phosphate levels can inhibit the enzyme’s activity.
  • Hormones: Hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D can influence the expression and activity of alkaline phosphatase.
  • Post-Translational Modifications: Glycosylation and other modifications can affect the enzyme’s stability and function .
