ALPL (alkaline phosphatase, liver) is a cell surface tetrameric protein, anchored to the membrane with glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) tethers. It also functions as a homodimer, but non-functional as a monomer. This gene is localized to human chromosome 1p36.12.
Synonyms: Anti-AP-TNAP antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Alkaline phosphatase liver/bone/kidney isozyme antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Alkaline phosphatase, tissue-nonspecific isozyme precursor antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-TNSALP antibody produced in rabbit

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Insufficiency of ALPL (alkaline phosphatase, liver) results in the inherited metabolic disorder called hypophosphatasia. It is characterized by abnormal mineralization of bones and teeth. Polymorphisms in this gene are linked with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. It acts as a marker for cholestasis, and an additional marker of the stage of primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
