Abstract: | 1. Rabbit alkaline phosphatases (APs) clearly fused with the anti-human AP antibodies. In particular, fetal liver and kidney APs reacted slightly less with the anti-intestinal AP antibody as did adult enzymes, suggesting that intestinal AP-like isozyme is expressed at earlier stages of gestation in rabbit liver and kidney. 2. Immunohistochemical data indicated that intestinal AP-like isozyme in the kidney was mainly localized in the distal convoluted tubules and slightly in the proximal straight tubules, whereas liver/bone/kidney AP-like enzyme was found more in the glomeruli and interstitial capillary walls as a major component. 3. The sugar-chain heterogeneity of adult and fetal rabbit APs displayed organ-specificity as did of rat and human APs. Moreover, in fetal development, the expression of high-mannose type or hybrid type sugar chains precedes the expression of complex type sugar chains in fetal development. |
