Phosphatase33
- Alkaline phosphatase (or ALP) is another enzyme commonly measured when liver dysfunction is suspected. (aacc.org)
- The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase) has the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. (wikipedia.org)
- Alkaline phosphatase is found in the periplasmic space of E. coli bacteria. (wikipedia.org)
- The level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood is checked through the ALP test, which is often part of routine blood tests. (wikipedia.org)
- Blood levels of alkaline phosphatase also increase by two to four times during pregnancy. (wikipedia.org)
- This is a result of additional alkaline phosphatase produced by the placenta and the liver. (wikipedia.org)
- Additionally, abnormal levels of alkaline phosphatase in the blood could indicate issues relating to the liver, gall bladder or bones. (wikipedia.org)
- Kidney tumors and infections as well as malnutrition have also shown abnormal level of alkaline phosphatase in blood. (wikipedia.org)
- In Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space, external to the inner cell membrane and within the peptidoglycan portion of the cell wall. (wikipedia.org)
- Since the periplasmic gap is more prone to environmental variation than the inner cell, alkaline phosphatase is suitably resistant to inactivation, denaturation, or degradation. (wikipedia.org)

(wikipedia.org)
- Alkaline phosphatase in E. coli is uncommonly soluble and active within elevated temperature conditions such as 80 °C. Due to the kinetic energy induced by this temperature the weak hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions of common proteins become degraded and therefore coalesce and precipitate. (wikipedia.org)
