Abstract
THE urine of man and of several laboratory animals exhibits amino-acid-arylamidase (so-called leucine-amino-peptidase or LAP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activities1–3. Histochemical investigations revealed the presence of large amounts of these enzymes in the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule2. Under normal conditions LAP and AP enter the urine as a result of the turnover of epithelial cells.
