DESCRIPTION
Alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate esters under alkaline conditions with the production of free phosphate. While the physiological purpose of alkaline phosphatase is still a question, empirically, changes in the level of this enzyme are used in the diagnosis of a variety of disease states such as inflammation related to CKD and IBD, certain anemias and cancer. AkrivisBio’s Alkaline Phosphatase Activity Assay, based on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenol phosphate, is a simple, sensitive assay able to measure alkaline phosphatase activity in a variety of biological samples. There are two conventions used to describe Alkaline phosphatase activity, Glycine units and DEA units. We use Glycine units in our assay.
