  • Title: Alkaline phosphatase in the lactating bovine mammary gland and the milk fat globule membrane. Release by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.
    Author: Bingham EW, Malin EL.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1992 Jun; 102(2):213-8. PubMed ID: 1377615.
    Abstract:
    1. Alkaline phosphatase is covalently bound to bovine mammary microsomal membranes and milk fat globule membranes through linkage to phosphatidylinositol as demonstrated by the release of alkaline phosphatase following treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. 2. The release of alkaline phosphatase from the pellet to the supernatant was demonstrated by enzyme assays and electrophoresis. 3. Electrophoresis of the solubilized enzymes showed that the alkaline phosphatase of the microsomal membranes contained several isozymes, while only one band with alkaline phosphatase activity was seen in the fat globule membrane. 4. Levamisole and homoarginine were potent inhibitors of the alkaline phosphatase activities in both membrane preparations and in bovine liver alkaline phosphatase, but not in calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase.
