Abstract I studied the kinetics and sensitivity toward inhibition by levamisole and R 8231 of the most important human alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes. N-Ethylaminoethanol proved superior to the now widely used diethanolamine buffer, especially for the enzymes from the intestine and placenta, behaving as an uncompetitive activator. The optimum pH largely depends on the substrate concentration. The addition of Mg2+ has no effect on the activities. The meaning of Km-values for alkaline phosphatases is questioned. Isoenzymes from human liver, bone, kidney, and spleen are strongly inhibited by levamisole or R 8231 at concentrations that barely affect the enzymes from intestine or placenta. The inhibition is stereospecific, uncompetitive, and not changed by Mg2+. Inhibition is counteracted by increasing concentrations of N-ethylaminoethanol. The mechanism of inhibition is suggested to be formation of a complex with the phosphoenzyme.

Abstract We present a new method for quantitative determination of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes. This method consists of electrophoretic separation on cellulose acetate membranes, special fixation technique to avoid elution and diffusion of enzyme protein during incubation, specific staining, and quantitative evaluation by densitometric measurement. We highly recommend the precedure for routine clinical laboratory use. In all normal individuals we observe two isoenzymes of hepatic origin and one isoenzyme each of osseous, intestinal, and biliary origin. Quantitative normal values are presented. Precision of the method is calculated, the CV being less than 10%. The exactness of densitometric quantification is proved by comparison with kinetic assay of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes by use of an elution method. Clinical implications of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymograms are reported and discussed in detail.
