Alkaline Phosphatase

Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that is majorly produced by the liver. It is also produced by the bones, placenta, bile ducts, kidneys and intestines, but to a lesser extent than it is produced in the liver. It exists in the body in different forms (isozymes) based on its origin. The ALP test is advised to measure the enzyme in the bloodstream.
