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.
