Recombinant human ALPL activity is measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic substrate, 4-MUP. The increase of the product was monitored by an increase in intensity of fluorescence at 445 nm with excitation at 365 nm. The specific activity is > 180,000 pmol/min/µg in the presence of 0.0005 µg of recombinant human ALPL. -
Stability Testing for Recombinant Human ALPL. Recombinant human ALPL was aliquoted in 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM ZnCl2, pH 7. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw) and compared to the control that was kept at 4⁰C (Control). The samples were tested for their ability to cleave the fluorogenic substrate, 4-MUP. The increase of the product was monitored by an increase in intensity of fluorescence at 445 nm with excitation at 365 nm. The specific activity is > 180,000 pmol/min/µg in the presence of 0.0005 µg of recombinant human ALPL.

ALPL is the tissue-nonspecific member of the alkaline phosphatase protein family, which includes four members: the tissue-nonspecific (liver/bone/kidney) ALP also called TNSALP, encoded by ALPL gene, and three tissue-specific ALPs that include intestinal (IAP), placental (PLAP-1), and placental-like 2 or germ cell (GCAP) ALPs; these enzymes are encoded by ALPI, ALPP, and ALPPL2 genes respectively. Both ALPL and ALPI are expressed in many vertebrate species, while PLAP-1 and GCAP are expressed only in mammalians. ALPL catalyzes the dephosphorylation of compounds in many transphosphorylation reactions. ALPL hydrolyze monophosphated esters such as phosphoethanolamine, inorganic pyrophosphate, and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. ALPL is a homodimeric protein and each monomer possesses 524 amino acids. It is expressed mainly in liver, bone, and kidney tissues, although it can be found in all tissues, typically in a membrane bound form. Its catalytic site harbors two Zn ions and one Mg ion essential for enzyme activity. Mutations in the ALPL gene causing deficiency in ALPL activity result in hypophosphatasia and skeletal defects. ALPL regulates senescence and differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow. ALPL deficiency induces bone mass loss and increase in marrow fat, characteristics of premature bone ageing. ALPL was found to regulate cancer cell motility in some ovarian cancers via a non-canonical WNT pathway.

Procedure
- Dilute the recombinant human ALPL to 0.01 ng/µL in assay buffer.
- Dilute the substrate to 50 µM in assay buffer.
- In a plate load 50 µL of the diluted human ALPL to the wells. Include a substrate blank of 50 µL assay buffer and 50 µL of diluted substrate.
- Start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 50 µM substrate to the wells.
- Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 365 nm and 445 nm (top read) respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
- Calculate specific activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)

We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
