A description of alkaline phosphatases from marine organisms

摘要

Alkaline phosphatases (APs) are non-specific phosphohydrolases,and they are widely used in clinical diagnostics and biological studies.APs are widespread in nature and exhibit different structural formulations.Based on the diversity of biogenetic sources,APs exhibit temperature-propensity traits,and they are classified as psychrophilic,mesophilic,and thermophilic.In this article,the characteristics of psychrophilic APs from marine organisms were described,accompanied by a simple description of APs from other organisms.This review will facilitate better utilization of marine APs in the biotechnology field.
