Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and plasma cell membrane glycoprotein-1 are central antagonistic regulators of bone mineralization

TL;DR: The results suggest that inhibiting PC-1 function may be a viable therapeutic strategy for hypophosphatasia, and interfere with TNAP activity may correct pathological hyperossification because of PPi insufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of two mouse alkaline phosphatase genes and establishment of a model of infantile hypophosphatasia

TL;DR: In the mouse, TNAP appears not to be essential for the initial events leading to bone mineral deposition but that TNAP seems to play a role in the maintenance of this process after birth, indicating the nonessential role of EAP during embryonic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal alkaline phosphatase is a gut mucosal defense factor maintained by enteral nutrition

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the brush–border enzyme, intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), has the ability to detoxify lipopolysaccharide and prevent bacterial invasion across the gut mucosal barrier under conditions of starvation and disease.
