Abstract

Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from pig kidney brush-border membranes was solubilized from membrane precipitates by butan-1-ol at a critical pH of 7.0. The 12000-fold purification procedure included (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, DEAE-and TEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and neuraminidase digestion followed by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The purified protein contained 20% (w/w) carbohydrate and had mol.wt. 150000–156000 as estimated by Sephadex filtration and ultracentrifuge analysis. It was a tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of identical subunits, and it had a molecular activity at 25°C of 2600s−1 per tetramer. Its concentration in kidney was estimated to be 8.5–8.8mg/kg.
