Alkaline Phosphatase optimized for E. Coli w/ 40x catalytic activity
Alkaline phosphatases are a group of isoenzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of organic phosphate esters present in the extracellular space (1) [1] . This catalytic activity is commonly used in diagnostic tests as the cleavage of the phosphate ester produces fluorescence visible to the naked eye.
Usage and Biology
Alkaline phosphatases are used as reporter enzymes in different assays such as Western Blotting and in situ hybridization[1]. Testing human blood for Alkaline Phosphatase levels is a routine test that can reveal different conditions[2].
