| - | '''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. | + | '''Alkaline phosphatase''' (ALP) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from nucleotides, proteins and alkaloids.
