Notes:
Human serum alkaline phosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.1.) was subclassified into several isoenzymes including carcinoplacental alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme (CPALP) by electrophoretic procedures. Since CPALP has three subtypes, such as Regan, Nagao and Variant type, their properties are somewhat different among them, and have no specific property, no simple method has yet been ascertained to detect CPALP separately.CPALP was detected as the fastest migrating isoenzyme band to the anode, using the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of more than 8.0% gel concentration. Thus, a polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis of 16–8% gel concentration in Tris-borate buffer system was introduced, which resulted in CPALP being found to be the fastest migrating isoenzyme band to the anode and microheterogeneities of each CPALP were also identified: CPALP (Variant) was electrophoresed rather faster to the anode, CPALP (Nagao); intermediate, and CPALP (Regan), as well as placental alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme; rather slower. In addition, each isoenzyme of CPALP and placental alkaline phosphatase further differentiated clearly into a few subbands.Slow moving new bands appeared by Triton X-100 treatment.
