Resumen:
Two fractions of rat intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) were detected by Western blot: 168±6 and 475±45 kDa. The low molecular weight fraction constitutes 43% of the isolated proteins exhibiting 82% of the enzymatic activity, and a heavier fraction constitutes 57% of the isolated proteins and has 18% of the enzymatic activity. Calcium produced increased of 475-kDa form to the detriment of 168-kDa form. This work also describes kinetic and structural changes of IAP as a function of calcium concentration ([Ca2+]). With [Ca2+]
