Enables alkaline phosphatase activity. Involved in cementum mineralization; response to glucocorticoid; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in extracellular space and plasma membrane. Is active in extracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Biomarker of uremia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adult hypophosphatasia; childhood hypophosphatasia; hypophosphatasia; and infantile hypophosphatasia. Orthologous to human ALPL (alkaline phosphatase, biomineralization associated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
