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
