Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that is widely present in human tissues, especially in high quantities in the liver, bones, kidneys, and placenta. ALP can catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphate ester to produce inorganic phosphoric acid and corresponding alcohols, and has been widely concerned because of its important role in medical and biotechnology fields.

Function and advantage

Catalytic reaction: ALP catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate esters to produce inorganic phosphoric acid and alcohols, a process that is essential for phosphoric acid metabolism and mineral absorption.

Bone health: ALP plays a key role in bone formation and mineralization, participating in the maturation and mineral deposition of bone matrix.

Liver function monitoring: ALP levels are an important indicator of liver function, and elevated levels may indicate diseases of the hepatobiliary system or bone disease.
