contents Multifunctionality of alkaline phosphatase in ecology and biotechnology. Saavedra, Daniel E M Baltar, Federico Alkaline Phosphatase Biotechnology Ecology Multifunctional enzymes can significantly impact biotechnological applications by performing activities beyond their primary functions. This review explores the role of the multifunctionality of alkaline phosphatase, a key enzyme in the phosphorus cycle, focusing on the molecular mechanisms influencing its activity and its biotechnological potential. We argue that understanding these aspects can enhance the utility of alkaline phosphatase in research and industry, fostering innovations in enzyme engineering, environmental biotechnology, and metabolic engineering. By exploring enzyme promiscuity, we highlight alkaline phosphatase's versatility, paving the way for advancements in sustainable agriculture, environmental remediation, and clinical diagnostics. Further research will unlock new applications and catalytic efficiencies, driving forward ecological and biotechnological progress.
