Rabbit polyclonal antibody to alkaline phosphatase (liver/bone/kidney) (alkaline phosphatase, liver/bone/kidney)There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, ａnd liver/bone/kidney (tissue non-specific). The first three are located together on chromosome 2, while the tissue non-specific form is located on chromosome 1. 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. The exact physiological function of the alkaline phosphatases is not known. A proposed function of this form of the enzyme is matrix mineralization; however, mice that lack a functional form of this enzyme show normal skeletal development. This enzyme has been linked directly to hypophosphatasia, a disorder that is characterized by hypercalcemia ａnd includes skeletal defects. The character of this disorder can vary, however, depending on the specific mutation since this determines age of onset ａnd severity of symptoms. Alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode the same protein, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
