  • Title: Partial purification and characterization of an alkaline phosphatase in Helix nemoralis and in Octopus vulgaris.
    Author: Principato GB, Aisa MC, Biagioni M, Giovannini E.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1982; 72(2):325-8. PubMed ID: 7116816.
    Abstract:
    1. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) present in the liver of Helix nemoralis and of Octopus vulgaris; enzyme was purified by homogenization, ultracentrifugation, n-butanol treatment, acetone fractionation and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. 2. The two enzymes show a similar enzyme-substrate affinity, but differ in several properties (molecular weight, electrophoretic mobility, optimum pH, substrate inhibition); a possible correlation of them with different evolutionary adaptations is suggested. 3. Possible roles of AP in Mollusca are discussed.
