Clinical significance

Found in many different tissues and organs, including liver, bone, intestine, placenta, kidneys, lungs and red blood cells. Isoenzymes of the liver and bone fractions account for 80% of the activity found in normal blood. This activity increases in both liver disease (intra- and extra-hepatic cholestasis) and bone disease (rickets, osteitis deformans, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism and metastasis to bone tissue).
