  Discovery Health :: Medical Tests :: ALP isoenzyme test
Isoenzymes are usually only ordered if the total or basic ALP level is increased and the healthcare provider is not sure why.
To measure levels of ALP isoenzymes, a blood sample is taken from a vein in the arm.
Normal values for ALP isoenzymes vary based on the age and sex of the person and the type of test used.

 Notes from the Scientific Field
Found type 1 isoenzyme in the nuclei of cells in all layers of the epidermis, in basal and glandular cells of sebaceous glands, in hair follicles (papilla, matrix cells, inner and outer root sheat, and arrector pili), and in eccrine and apocrine sweat glands.
The type 2 isoenzyme is found in the skin and scalp from the birth to the age 2-3 years.
Although type 1 isoenzyme is the dominant form of enzyme in adult scalp and the type 2 is dominant in prostate and genital tissue, in male pseudohermaphroditism patients’ virilization of the external genitalia occurs during puberty, although secondary sexual hair remains sparse and they seldom suffer from male-pattern baldness or acne.

 Determination of total creatine kinase or an isoenzyme with a multilayer analytical element - Patent 4713327
Prior to or simultaneously with that contact, for an assay of an isoenzyme, the liquid sample is contacted with one or more antibodies which are capable of either preferentially reacting with or preferentially inhibiting the enzymatic activity of the isoenzymes not of interest, e.g.
In this example, the B subunit of the CK-MB isoenzyme is ideally uneffected by the presence of the antibodies, and therefore, are free to react in any of a number of reaction schemes to produce a detectable change.
Quantification of total creatine kinase or its isoenzyme in the practice of this preferred embodiment is achieved using oxygen as the electron acceptor and a colorimetric indicator composition which comprises: (1) a substance having peroxidative activity, and (2) a chromogen.

 Alkaline Phosphatase Activity as a Clinical Chemistry Diagnostic Aid
The isoenzymes of ALP that are of clinical use in veterinary medicine include the hepatic, corticosteroid-induced, bone, intestinal, and placental forms.
This induced isoenzyme was found to be located in the area of the hepatocyte membrane that constitutes the bile canaliculi.
The steroid and intestinal isoenzymes of ALP are resistant to levamisole inhibition, while all the other isoenzymes (hepatic, bone, placental) are susceptible to levamisole inhibition.

 American Psychiatric Association   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For combination antiretroviral therapy that includes protease inhibitors and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, an overarching concern in terms of coadministration with psychotropic agents is not only the possibility of plasma levels of psychotropic medications outside the targeted therapeutic concentration range but also the possible reduction of antiretroviral levels to the point of risking their effectiveness.
Benzodiazepines are metabolized primarily by the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A; however, oxazepam, lorazepam, and temazepam are metabolized by direct conjugation via glucuronyl transferase, resulting in shorter elimination half-lives and less likelihood of metabolite accumulation and associated side effects.
Because opioids are metabolized primarily via the cytochrome P450 isoenzymes 2D6 and 3A, they should be used cautiously in conjunction with antiretroviral agents that are likely to increase their plasma levels.

Bone - this isoenzyme is produced by osteoblasts and increases in serum in association with osteoblastic activity (young animals, certain bone disorders).
Isoenzyme measurement is most commonly applied to canine samples to distinguish LAP and CAP isoenzymes in cases with increased total activity of uncertain cause.
Differentiation of isoenzymes can be accomplished by electrophoretic (affinity agarose electrophoresis, cellulose acetate electrophoresis or isoelectric focusing on agarose) or differential inhibition methods using levamisole (inhibits LAP and BAP especially), heat (inactivates LAP and BAP) and wheat germ lectin (precipitates BAP and CAP) methods.

 Myocardial Markers
The predominant LDH isoenzyme in liver and skeletal muscle is M4 (LDH-5) and the predominant cardiac isoenzyme is H4 (LDH-1).
The CK isoenzymes are resolved by electrophoresis but many hospital laboratories conduct CK isoenzyme analysis by a simple procedure involving the use of an antibody against the M subunit which inhibits M activity while the activity of the B subunit is retained.
Although the LDH isoenzyme pattern is indistinguishable from muscle disease or injury, the absence of at least a trace of CK-MB isoenzyme is inconsistent with the muscle CPK isoenzyme distribution as is the apparently normal total activity.

A blood test to measure the amounts of different forms (isoenzymes) of the enzymealkaline phosphatase.
