The human alkaline phosphatases constitute a system of multiple molecular forms of enzymes in which heterogeneity is partly due to genetic factors and partly to posttranslational modifications. Recognition of the nature and occurrence of these multiple forms has made a significant contribution both to the understanding of changes in alkaline phosphatase values for serum in disease and to the use of alkaline phosphatase measurements in diagnosis. Many of the diagnostic advantages of alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme analysis can be obtained with the aid of qualitative methods such as zone electrophoresis. However, quantitative methods are needed to take full advantage of the potential benefits of isoenzyme analysis. Selective inactivation methods can be applied successfully to the quantitative analysis of bone and liver alkaline phosphatases in serum. However, the aim of future research should be to remove the limitations at present imposed on quantitative analysis by the close similarities of bone and liver alkaline phosphatases.
