| concentration | ≥10 mg/mL |
| form | (Solution in 40% glycerol containing 6 mM Tris, 6 mM MgCl2 and 0.12 mM ZnCl2, pH approximately 7.6) |
| mol wt | dimer ~160 kDa |
| Quality Level | 200 ![]() |

| Analysis Note: | Package sizes are based on DEA units |
| Application: | Alkaline phosphatase can be used to dephosphorylate casein and other proteins. Alkaline phosphatase may be also be used to dephosphorylate the 5′-termini of DNA or RNA to prevent self-ligation. DNA or RNA can also be tagged with radiolabeled phosphate (via T4 polynucleotide kinase) after dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase.. |
| Application: | High specific activity grade recommended for antibody and protein conjugation. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The enzyme has a broad specificity for phosphate esters of alcohols, amines, pyrophosphate, and phenols. It is routinely used to dephosphorylate proteins and nucleic acids. |
| General description: | Bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase is a dimeric, membrane-derived glycoprotein. At least three isoforms exist, which typically possess two N-linked and one or more O-linked glycans per monomer. |
| General description: | Bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase is a dimeric, membrane-derived glycoprotein. At least three isoforms exist, which typically possess two N-linked and one or more O-linked glycans per monomer.2 The enzyme requires zinc, and magnesium or calcium divalent ions for activity. |
| Other Notes: | One DEA unit will hydrolyze 1 μmole of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate per minute at pH 9.8 at 37 °C. (One glycine unit is equivalent to ~3 DEA units) |
