title: Alkaline phosphatase activity in the small intestine of the sheep.
abstract: The distribution of intestinal alkaline phosphatase activities has been studied in 27 adult sheep. There is a descending gradient of activity from duodenum to ileum. The location of the enzyme along the small intestine is suggestive of its involvement in absorption mechanisms.
