Partial Purification and Characterisation of Alkaline Phosphatase from Hepatopancreas and Intertine of Red Tilapia, (Tilapia Mossambica)

Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) is a metalloenzyme, which catalyze nonspecific hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters. Partial purification was conducted on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) extracted from hepatopancreas and intestine of red tilapia, (Tilapia mossombica) using two main steps - ammonium s...
