Abstract
HUMAN serum alkaline phosphatase from some individuals can be separated by starch gel electrophoresis into two components. The faster moving zone has the electrophoretic characteristics of liver and bone alkaline phosphatase1 and, like liver alkaline phosphatase, it is only slightly inhibited by treatment with phenylalanine. By contrast, the slower moving zone has the electrophoretic characteristics of small intestinal alkaline phosphatase2,3 and its activity is markedly inhibited by phenylalanine4,5.
