Abstract excerpt
Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is the most ancestral of the tissue-specific members of the AP gene family. Several studies have suggested an absorptive function for IAP, but in vivo data to this effect have been lacking. We inactivated the mouse IAP gene in embryo-derived stem cells and generated mice homozygous for the null mutation. The mice were macroscopically and histologically normal and fertile and...
