INTRODUCTION
Placental alkaline phosphatase also known as PLAP is a membranal siaglycoprotein enzyme typicallyfoundin high concentration in syncytiotrophoblasts in the placenta amid the 3th trimester of gestation. The expression of PLAP was at firstconsidered to be onlyin the term placenta, though, a human PLAP-like variant has been found,thathas more than 85% homology with PLAP itself. PLAP is expressed strictly in normal term placenta, endocervix & fallopian tube and in ovarian and proximal gastrointestinal tumors. It is also widely expressed in germ cell tumors and more recently found in seminomas.
DESCRIPTION
ALPP Human produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 494 amino acids (23-506 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 53.9kDa. ALPP is expressed with a 10 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
