| - | + | == Function == | |
| - | ''' | + | '''Alkaline phosphatase''' (ALP) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from nucleotides, proteins and alkaloids. The enzyme is most effective in alkaline environment. Human ALP is present as 3 tissue-associated isozymes: intestinal, tissue-nonspecific and placental ('''ALPP'''). ALP is a zinc and magnesium containing enzyme. ALP is a glycoprotein which is attached by a GPI anchor to cell surfaces.<ref>PMID:15946677</ref> |

| - | + | == Disease == | |
| - | + | High levels of ALP are associated with hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome. | |
| + | == Relevance == | ||
| + | ALP is used in molecular biology to remove the phosphate at the 5' end of DNA thus preventing its self ligation. ALP activity is used in the dairy industry as a marker for successful pasteurization since it does not denature at temperatures which kill bacteria in milk. | ||
