Notes: β-Glycerophosphate is an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase (ALP).{22569} It decreases ALP activity and promotes bone mineralization in chick osteoblasts when used at concentrations of 10 and 20 mM. β-Glycerophosphate (10 mM) induces calcification of cultured bovine vascular smooth muscle cells (BVSMCs) in an ALP-dependent manner.{22568}
