Other Liver enzymes Flashcards
Other name for Alkaline Phosphate
Alkaline orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase
Catalyze the hydrolysis of various phosphomonoesters at an alkaline pH (around 9-10)
Alkaline Phosphate
Liberate inorganic phosphate from an organic phosphate ester with production of alcohol
Alkaline Phosphate
ALP requires what activator?
Magnesium
In healthy human sera, most ALP is derived from the
Liver and bones specifically OSTEOBLAST
For evaluation of hepatobiliary and bone disorders
ALP
Major tissue sources of ALP
Liver, Bones, Placenta, Intestine and Kidneys
- Based on molar absorptivity and p-nitrophenol
- Absorbance is measured at 405 nm (visible light spectrum
Bowers and McComb
Color of product in Bowers and McComb
Yellow
Bodansky, Shinoowara, Jones, Reinhart substrate and end product
S: b-glycero-phosphate
E: Inorganic PO4 and Glycerol
Bessy, Lowry and Brock, Bowers and McComb substrate and end product
S: P-nitrophenyl phosphate
E: P-nitrophenol (yellow)
King and Armstrong substrate and end endproduct
S: Phenyl phosphate
E: Phenol
T/F: among kids (10-puberty) is because the bone cell is affected by growth hormone surge and during bone growth, osteoblasts are active → ALP is released
TRUE
Fastest ALP isoenzyme and elevates in liver diseases; most anodic
Liver ALP
Two fractions of Liver ALP
Major liver (abundance)
Fast liver (a1) band (fast migration)
Heat labile (when temperature is increased, the activity is significantly decreased [seen at 56 deg C])
Bone ALP
Increase in bone dse., healing of bone fractures and physiologic bone growth
Bone ALP
Can be pathologic (PAGET’S dse or osteitis deformans) and physiologic (bone fracture because of the activity of osteoblast [repair process])
Increase Bone ALP
Most heat stable fraction and increase in pregnancy (16th-20th week of gestation)
Placental ALP
Associated or linked in malignancy or cancer
Carcinoplacental ALP
ALP isoenzyme which is the slowest; least anodic
- Slowest moving fraction, in blood groups B or O (secretors)
Intestinal ALP
Placental and Intestinal ALP are inhibited by
Phenylalanine
Bone ALP is inhibited by what chemical inhibitor
3M urea reagent
Chemical inhibitor for Bone and Liver ALP
Levamisole
Total ALP elevations by the liver or bone ALP is differentiated by
Heating of serum at 56degC for 10 mins
Heat stability characteristics
Placental>Intestinal >Liver >Bone
(placental - most heat stable ; bone - most heat labile)
ALP residual activity is decreased up to >20%
Liver ALP
ALP residual activity is decreased to <20% (heat labile)
Bone ALP
- Found on lung, breast, and gynecological cancers, bone ALP co-migrator
- Most heat-stable ALP (remains stable even after heating the serum sample at 65degC for 30 mins)
Regan ALP
Seen on adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and bile duct, pleural cancer
Nagao ALP
Reagent that can inhibit Regan ALP
Phenylalanine
Reagents that can inhibit Nagao
Phenylalanine, L-leucine
Acid Phosphatase (ACP) is also known as
Acid orthophosporic monoester phosphohydrolase
Catalyze the hydrolysis of various phosphomonoesters at an acid pH
ACP
Sources of Acid phosphatase
Prostate gland, RBC, platelets, and bones (osteoclast)
● Liberate inorganic phosphate from an organic phosphate ester with production of alcohol
● For evaluation of metastatic carcinoma of prostate
ACP
Now used as a tumor marker for prostate cancer since it is more specific than ACP
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
Prostatic ACP activity in cases of rape can only persist for how many days?
4
Inhibit specific prostatic ACP
L-tartrate ions
Inhibits red cell ACP
Formaldehyde and cupric ions
Substrate for quantitative end point
Thymolpthalein monophosphate
Substrate for Continuous monitoring
A-napthyl phosphate
Give the substrate and end product for Gutman and Gutman
S: Phenyl PO4
E: Inorganic phosphate
Shinowara substrate and endproducts
S: PNPP
E: P-nitrophenol
Babson, Read and Phillips substrate and end products
S: Alpha naphtyl PO4
E: Alpha naphtol
Substrate and end product for Roy and Hillman
S: Thymolphthalein MonoPO4
E: Free thymolphthalein
