29
Q

alp is present on cell surfaces in most tissues with highest
concentrations in

A

Intestine
Liver: location sinusoidal and bile canalicular membrane
Bone: in osteoblasts
Spleen

31
Q

Elevated in involvement of osteoblasts

A

bone disorders (elevated)

32
Q

increased or decreased: Inherited condition of hypophosphatasia

A

decreased

33
Q

fastest migrator in alp electrophoresis

A

Liver ALP

34
Q

slowest migrator in alp electrophoresis

A

Intestinal ALP

35
Q

2 fractions of alp

A

Major Liver Fraction
Fast Liver Fraction

36
Q

why bone alp is normally elevated in children

A

due to osteoblastic activity with this it is difficult to interpret

37
Q

Presence depends on the blood
group and secretor status of the
individual (more likely “B” and
“O”)

Inhibits intestinal ALP and placental ALP in greater extent than liver and bone ALP

A

Phenylalanine

42
Q

Inhibits bone ALP and liver ALP

A

Levamisole

43
Q

Inhibits bone ALP

A

3M Urea

44
Q

similarity with placental
isoenzyme

49
Q

why hemolysis causes slight elevations in alp

A

more concentrated in the RBC than serum

50
Q

why hemolysis causes slight elevations in alp during diet

A

May elevate ALP activity of blood group B and O individuals who are secretors
