Alkaline phosphatase, mouse recombinant

Alpl, also known as alkaline phosphatase, tissue-nonspecific isozyme, is one of alkaline phosphatases. There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue-nonspecific). The product of this gene is a membrane-bound glycosylated enzyme that is not expressed in any particular tissue and is, therefore, referred to as the tissue-nonspecific form of the enzyme. A proposed function of this form of the enzyme is matrix mineralization. Recombinant mouse Alpl, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
