Alkaline Phosphatase
Application Notes
Alkaline phosphatase is used to remove 5'-phosphate groups from nucleic acid molecules to prevent self-ligation of DNA fragments and vectors during recombinant DNA manipulations. It is used in the laboratory to remove phosphate monoesters which prevents self-ligation. It is also used in the dairy industry to confirm pasturization of milk. Alkaline phosphatse is commonly conjugated to antibodies and used in immunoblotting, ELISA's, and other antibody based detection assays.
