Abstract
Enzymatic and immunological properties of alkaline phosphatase [ALP; orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase, alkaline optimum, EC 3.1.3.1.] in the human dental pulp were investigated. In inhibition and thermal inactivation studies, dental pulp ALP showed properties of universal-type ALP (kidney/bone/liver type). Dental pulp ALP cross-reacted with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against purified swine-kidney ALP, and with monoclonal antibody against ALP of human osteoblast-like cells in the same manner as ALPs of human bone and kidney. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoretic pattern showed a 140, 000-Mr native protein band.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
