Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a hydrolase enzyme responsible for dephosphorylation from molecules such as nucleotides, proteins, and alkaloids. It is found in several tissues throughout the body, including liver, bone, bile duct, kidney, etc.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test is used to diagnose, screen or monitor treatment for liver or bone disorder. In case of a liver disease, one or more bile ducts may be blocked which causes high amounts of ALP to be released into the blood by damaged liver cells.
