Mechanism of action

recAP (recombinant intestinal alkaline phosphatase) dephosphorylates lipopolysaccharide and other pathogen-associated molecular patterns, reducing their pro-inflammatory signaling through TLR4 and other pattern recognition receptors. By decreasing bacterial endotoxin-driven inflammation, it mitigates systemic inflammatory responses implicated in conditions such as sepsis and inflammatory bowel disease.
