Indicators
A family of phosphatases that add monophosphates to substrates. The optimal pH for activity of these enzymes is below 7.
Tests
The determination of the amount of acid phosphatase present in a sample.
Indicators
A family of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes involved in cellular nitrogen metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and liver gluconeogenesis. Alanine aminotransferase specifically and reversibly catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from L-alanine to alpha-ketoglutarate forming pyruvate and L-glutamate.
Tests
An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of ALP in your blood. ALP is an enzyme, a protein that speeds up certain chemical reactions in your body. ALP is found in all your body tissues, but higher amounts can be found in your liver, bile ducts, and bones. Each part of your body makes a different type of ALP.
Indicators
An enzyme that catalyses the cleavage of inorganic phosphate non-specifically from a wide variety of phosphate esters and having a high (greater than 8) pH optimum.
Tests
The determination of the amount of amorphous phosphate crystals present in a sample.
Indicators
A family of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and in the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. Aspartate aminotransferase specifically and reversibly catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from L-aspartate to alpha-ketoglutarate forming oxaloacetate and L-glutamate.
Glossary Term
Initiation of DNA base excision repair (BER) involves a DNA glycosylase that binds the altered deoxynucleoside in an extrahelical position and catalyzes cleavage of the base-sugar bond. Subsequently, an AP endonuclease or AP lyase activity incises the abasic site, followed by short-patch gap-filling, excision of the base-free sugar-phosphate residue, and ligation.
Indicators
An isoform of alkaline phosphatase found on the surface of osteoblasts. The level of this enzyme in a patient's serum is proportional to the amount of bone formation. This marker is used for monitoring the efficacy of both bone formation therapies and antiresorptive therapies.
