    Background
    Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is a membrane-bound, zinc-dependent metalloenzyme belonging to the alkaline phosphatase (AP) family, encoded in humans by the ALPI gene on chromosome 2. Structurally, it shares high amino acid sequence homology with placental AP, and also with tissue-nonspecific AP (TNAP), reflecting an evolutionary divergence between tissue-specific and nonspecific isoforms. IAP is predominantly expressed and secreted by enterocytes of the small intestine, with highest mRNA expression in the duodenum and maximal enzymatic activity in the terminal ileum; it is also released into the intestinal lumen and, to a lesser extent, the circulation, where it remains catalytically active. Functionally, IAP plays a central role in maintaining gut homeostasis by dephosphorylating and detoxifying pathogen-associated molecular patterns such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), flagellin, unmethylated CpG DNA, and extracellular nucleotides (ATP, ADP, UDP), thereby dampening pro-inflammatory signaling. It supports commensal bacterial colonization, limits bacterial translocation across the epithelium, modulates duodenal pH and bicarbonate secretion, facilitates long-chain fatty acid absorption, and shapes microbiome composition in response to diet. Reduced IAP expression—seen in conditions like prematurity, starvation, inflammation, and certain surgical states—has been linked to dysbiosis, intestinal inflammation, and systemic sepsis risk, making recombinant or exogenous IAP a promising therapeutic candidate for inflammatory, infectious, and postoperative complications.
