Abstract. 1  Our knowledge of the structure and function of alkaline phosphatases has increased greatly in recent years. The crystal structure of the human placental isozyme has enabled us to probe salient features of the mammalian enzymes that differ from those of the bacterial enzymes. The availability of knockout mice deficient in each of the murine alkaline phosphatase isozymes has also given deep insights into their in vivo role. This has been particularly true for probing the biological role of bone alkaline phosphatase during skeletal mineralization. Due to space constraints this mini-review focuses exclusively on structural and functional features of mammalian alkaline phosphatases as identified by crystallography and probed by site-directed mutagenesis and kinetic analysis.
Do not deduct Social Security taxes on gross wages exceeding this limit. The limit as of 2009 was $106,800 but is adjusted annually. Refer to IRS Publication 15 Circular E for the current figures. Calculate the Medicare tax by multiplying the gross pay by 1.45 percent.
The program is financed by worker payroll deductions. Starting January 1, 2014, each worker contributes .001% of the taxable wage base. For 2014, the taxable wage base is $31,500, and the maximum yearly deduction for Family Leave Insurance is $31.50. The taxable wage base changes each year.
