Nine different isoenzymes and (or) isoforms of alkaline phosphatase (ALP; EC 3.1.3.1) from human tissue were studied with respect to Km and Vmax values for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) in seven different potential phosphoacceptors/buffers. Generally, the phosphoacceptors/buffers with the lowest affinity
