Abstract
This book brings together some of the vast amount of information that has accumulated in 70 years about the group of hydrolytic enzymes generally referred to as “alkaline phosphatase” [international classification: orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), 3.1.3.1].1 It is intended to serve as a reference text for physicians, clinical chemists, biochemists, veterinarians, biologists, and physiologists, as well as for workers in related areas.
