... Alkaline phosphatase Recombinant protein Cell growth Multipotency Budding Tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis C-type lectins are calcium-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins ( Drickamer, 1988 ). They have a common sequence motif of 115-130 amino acid residues, referred...

...Grant R. MacGregor; Brian P. Zambrowicz; Philippe Soriano ABSTRACT Mouse primordial germ cells express tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) during development, but the widespread expression of another alkaline phosphatase gene in the early embryo limits the potential use of this marker...

... we demonstrate that during the period of limb segmentation, five segmentally iterated, sharply demarcated bands of cell surface alkaline phosphatase activity are expressed in embryonic grasshopper limbs. These bands span each intersegmental boundary in the limb as well as one boundary within...

...Sonoko Narisawa; Marie-Claude Hofmann; Carol A. Ziomek; José Luis Millán ABSTRACT We have recently cloned and characterized a novel embryonic alkaline phosphatase (EAP) expressed at the two-cell to blastocyst stage of preimplantation development in the mouse. The isozyme is re-expressed in trace...

...Saul L. Zackson; Malcolm S. Steinberg On the basis of its distribution pattern in embryos of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) , we recently identified alkaline phosphatase as a molecule potentially involved in guiding the migration of the pronephric duct. Alkaline phosphatase is a cell surface...
