Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that breaks down phosphate compounds into phosphates and alcohols under basic conditions. Because ALP is excreted from the bones, liver, placenta, and small intestine and excreted into the bile via the liver, ALP can be measured to identify the bile outflow pathway, bone formation, liver function, and placental function. PicoSens™ Alkaline Phosphatase Activity Assay Kit enables easy and fast quantification of the ALP contained in the Sample.
