ALPG, Official Symbol ALPGprovided by HGNC Official Full Name alkaline phosphatase, germ cellprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:441 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000163286 MIM:171810; AllianceGenome:HGNC:441 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GCAP; ALPPL; ALPPL2 Summary There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue non-specific). The product of this gene is a membrane bound glycosylated enzyme, localized to testis, thymus and certain germ cell tumors, that is closely related to both the placental and intestinal forms of alkaline phosphatase.
