| Abstract | Alkaline phosphatases [orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1] have been examined in liver, bone, kidney, intestine, and placenta from nine mammalian species by quantitative inhibition and thermostability studies and compared with alkaline phosphatases in the corresponding human tissues. In humans, three kinds of alkaline phosphatase can be sharply differentiated by these methods, one occurring in liver, bone, and kidney, one in intestine, and one in placenta. They are evidently determined by separate gene loci. In the mammals only two sorts of alkaline phosphatase were found: one, which occurs in liver, bone, kidney, and also placenta, corresponds to the human liver/bone/kidney enzyme and the other corresponds to the human intestinal enzyme. The findings support our earlier proposal that the expression of a distinctive type of alkaline phosphatase in human placenta is the consequence of a late evolutionary event which occurred subsequent to the divergence of the evolutionary lineage leading to humans from the various lineages leading to other mammalian species. The concentrations of the inhibitors, phenylalanine, homoarginine, phenylalanylglycylglycine, and levamisole, required to give 50% inhibition, [I(50)], of the liver/bone/kidney/placental (nonhuman) alkaline phosphatases showed no significant variation among the species. However, the [I(50)] values for the intestinal enzyme varied among species to a much greater extent. This implies that in the liver/bone/kidney/placental (nonhuman) alkaline phosphatase the structures of the binding sites for these inhibitors have been highly conserved during mammalian evolution, but there has been much greater divergence of these structures in the evolution of intestinal alkaline phosphatases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
