Expressions of Alpl mRNA and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity in the early pregnant uterus.
(A) The levels of Alpl mRNA were determined by qRT-PCR. Results were normalized to the housekeeping gene Rpl7 and presented as the mean ± SD of three separate experiments, with different letters (a, b, c) indicating statistical difference (p Alpl mRNA ...

Regional assignment of the gene for human liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase to chromosome 1p36.1–p34 [PDF]
We have used three different methods to map the human liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) locus: (1) Southern blot analysis of DNA derived from a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids; (2) in situ hybridization to human chromosomes; and (3)

Hypophosphatasia in childhood: Diagnosis to management
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic bone disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the ALPL gene, leading to deficient activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP).

Vitamin B6 challenge as a tool for detecting ALPL mutations and diagnosing hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Low serum alkaline phosphatase is the biochemical hallmark of hypophosphatasia. However, it is a non-specific finding. Here we show that a 2-day vitamin B6 challenge is useful to identify carriers of ALPL gene mutations among patients with low serum ...

The Global ALPL gene variant classification project: Dedicated to deciphering variants.
BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited multisystem disorder predominantly affecting the mineralization of bones and teeth. HPP is caused by pathogenic variants in ALPL, which encodes tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Variants

Lack of acellular cementum on Alpl−/− molar root surfaces.
Backcattered SEM was employed to explore the cervical root surface (white boxes) in (A) Alpl+/+ control and (B) Alpl−/− first molars. At higher magnification, the acellular cementum layer (white arrows) in the (C) control molar can be distinguished by ...
