Alkaline Phosphatase: A Review Article

Priyanka Verma

Abstract


Alkaline phosphatase is homodimeric in nature of 86 Kilodaltons which dephosphorylates coumpounds by hydrolysis, It is sometimes used as a biomarker to diagnose hepatits and osteomalacia. Testing of this enzyme is of great importance, this help in identifying condition like hepatitis, cirrhosis, rickets, osteomolacia etc. There are many isoenzymes which are organ specific and there increase is of great importance for the diagnosis of various diseases. Alkaline phosphatase measurement is done under liver function test in the lab. So ALP can be used as a prognostic marker
for bone and liver treatment.
