Anti-ALPL (Alkaline phosphatase liver/bone/kidney isozyme)

Alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) removes phosphate groups from the 5' end of DNA and RNA, and from proteins, at high pH. Most mammals have 4 different isozymes: placental, placental like, intestinal and non tissue specific (found in liver, kidney and bone). Tissues with particularly high concentrations of ALP include the liver, bile ducts, placenta, and bone. ALPL is the alkaline phosphatase of skin fibroblasts ,the tissue-nonspecific type, and that it is active toward millimolar concentrations of the putative natural substrates phosphoethanolamine (PEA) and pyridoxal-5-prime-phosphate (PLP). ALPL gene exists in single copy in the haploid genome and is composed of 12 exons distributed over more than 50 kb.Damaged or diseased tissue releases enzymes into the blood, so serum ALP measurements can be abnormal in many conditions, including bone disease and liver disease. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. , Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 0.5-1ug/ml. Antigen retrieval using heat is required. Boil paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 20 minutes., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
