Asfotase alfa improved skeletal mineralization and fracture healing in a child with MCAHS. [PDF]
Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) is an enzyme that is tethered to the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) and converts inorganic pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate. Inorganic phosphate combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite, the main mineral in the skeleton.

Hypophosphatasia: from birth to adulthood [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disease caused by a low activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, a hydrolase that removes phosphate groups from many molecules.

Pharmacodynamics of asfotase alfa in adults with pediatric-onset hypophosphatasia
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the rare, inherited, metabolic bone disease characterized by low activity of the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) leading to excess extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). Asfotase alfa is the human recombinant enzyme-replacement therapy that replaces deficient

Five-year efficacy and safety of asfotase alfa therapy for adults and adolescents with hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) features low tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) isoenzyme activity resulting in extracellular accumulation of its substrates including pyridoxal 5\u27-phosphate (PLP), the principal circulating form of vitamin B6, and

A Rare Case of Perinatal Hypophosphatasia Treated With Asfotase Alfa [PDF]
Abstract Background: Perinatal Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare and lethal disorder associated with a 50–100% mortality rate, usually due to respiratory complications. HPP occurs due to a loss-of-function mutation in the ALPL gene, responsible for the function of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP).
