General description

Chromogenic substrate for the determination of acid and alkaline phosphatases. The reaction produces a soluble end product that is yellow in color. The reaction may be stopped with 3 N NaOH and read at 405 nm.

Application

4-Nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a substrate for streptavidin-Alkaline Phosphatase. It has also been used as a substrate in control assay for comparing 4-aminophenyl phosphate/diethanolamine (APP/DEA) assay for alkaline phosphatase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate (pNPP) is a non-proteinaceous and non-specific substrate for determining protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Hydrolysis of pNPP yields p-nitrophenol. pNPP is a common chromogenic substrate for alkaline phosphatase.

Colorimetric Alkaline Phosphatase and Peroxidase Substrate Detection Systems

Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) is used with the alkaline phosphatase substrate 5-Bromo- 4-Chloro-3-Indolyl Phosphate (BCIP) in western blotting and immunohistological staining procedures. These substrate systems produce an insoluble NBT diformazan end product that is blue to purple in color and can be observed visually.
