Chromogenic substrates for the assay of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) and acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2)
Applications
Phosphatases are hydrolase enzymes which remove phosphate group from other molecules. Measurement of phosphatase activity can be performed to detect phosphatase-active bacteria. In humans, elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels have been associated with various diseases, such as biliary obstruction, bone conditions, liver diseases and leukemia.

Acid phosphatase is also known as:
Acid phosphomonoesterase; phosphomonoesterase; glycerophosphatase; acid monophosphatase; acid phosphohydrolase; acid phosphomonoester hydrolase; uteroferrin; acid nucleoside diphosphate phosphatase; orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum); AP; ACP.
1068 SLPr-Phos powder
This substrate is an orange brown powder. Hydrolysis of this substrate by phosphatase releases a product that is violet/blue in colour at pH> 9.5 and can be measured at 550 nm. Extinction coefficient of the released product is 17,000 Lmol-1cm-1.
