The tree's best development is on ridges or slopes and high riverbanks. Jatoba trees may grow to a height of 130 ft with trunk diameters of 5 to 6 ft; usually less than 100 ft high with diameters of 2 to 4 ft. Boles are well formed, often clear for 40 to 80 ft, and basally swollen or buttressed in large trees.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme present in all human tissues throughout the body. The bulk of it, however, is found in the liver, where most of it is produced. A blood test for ALP can reveal different conditions when the enzyme is either higher or lower than the normal range.
The alkaline phosphatase test (ALP) is used to help detect liver disease or bone disorders. 1  In conditions affecting the liver, damaged liver cells release increased amounts of ALP into the blood. This test is often used to detect blocked bile ducts because ALP is especially high in the edges of cells that join to form bile ducts.
