Biochem/physiol Actions

Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) or ALPP is a hydrolase, which is involved in the hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters. It has been shown to be a biomarker for ovarian cancer. The protein is expressed in carcinomas such as ovarian adenocarcinoma, dysgerminoma, serous cystadenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.
