Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) is an ectoenzyme crucial for bone matrix mineralization via its ability to hydrolyze extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (ePPi), a potent mineralization inhibitor, to phosphate (Pi). By the controlled hydrolysis of ePPi, TNAP maintains the correct ratio of

Medial vascular calcification (MVC) is a pathological phenomenon that causes vascular stiffening and can lead to heart failure; it is common to a variety of conditions, including aging, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, obesity, and a variety of rare genetic diseases.
Overexpression of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) in endothelium leads to arterial calcification in mice. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of elevated endothelial TNAP on coronary atherosclerosis. In addition, we aimed to examine endogenous TNAP activity
