ALPL
The ALPL gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase. This enzyme plays an important role in the growth and development of bones and teeth. It is also active in many other tissues, particularly in the liver and kidneys.
Genetic variations in the ALPL gene can change the way the gene's instructions are used to build the enzyme.
The ALPL gene requires the mineral zinc to function. If you'd like to determine your genotype for the ALPL gene, you can order the GENOMIC INSIGHT test online.
