The isolation, cloning and characterisation of the Xenopus Laevis alkaline phosphatase gene from the neurala stage.

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. ( Abbreviation abstract ) / AC2017
