The purpose of this work was to determine the manner of inheritance of serum alkaline phosphatase in the racing pigeon, (Columba livia). The evidence indicates that the electrophoretic patterns of serum alkaline phosphatase in the pigeon are inherited as codominant genes.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biotechnology. / Alkaline phosphatases (AP's) comprise a family of isozymes which are distributed widely in nature. Their function is unknown. There is evidence that in Xenopus tissue non-specific AP (TNAP) plays some role in differentiation and morphogenesis during embryological development. The isolation and elucidation of the primary structure of the TNAP gene is one aspect in the study of the function of TNAP in the embryo and is the primary aim of this work.

The development of alkaline phosphatase (AP) has been studied in two species of Urodele amphibian, Ambystoma qracile and Taricha torosa. The enzyme is present in embryo homogenates at gastrulation and increases immensely in activity as development proceeds to the free-swimming stages. The activity level is a product of two isozymic forms that change quantitatively. Using histochemical detection methods, it was possible to correlate the specific activity and electrophoretic data with histological AP development. Some function of AP were related to the available data. A correlation between substrate specificities and function is proposed which may assist in understanding the role of AP in the process of differentiation / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate
