Invitrogen™ Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Activity Kit
Description
The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Activity Kit is a highly reliable and sensitive assay designed for the quantitative measurement of ALP activity in various sample types. ALP is a group of cytomembrane-related enzymes with hydrolysis and transfer activity, acting on a variety of phosphate substrates. ALP is a homologous dimerase where each catalytic site contains three metal ions.
The assay is based on the ability of alkaline phosphatase to decompose benzene disodium phosphate to produce free phenol and phosphoric acid. Phenol reacts with 4-aminopyrine in alkaline solution and oxidizes with potassium ferricyanide to form a red quinone derivative. The enzyme activity can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value.
