## Abstract Very high levels of placentalβlike alkaline phosphatases (PLAPβlike enzymes) were observed in tissues from 13 typical seminomas. Four tumors with seminoma components contained these enzymes to varying degrees, and other testicular tumors had them in smaller or nonβdetectable amounts. An
Tumor marker identification in testicular cancer has contributed to early detection and monitoring of non-seminomatous disease. A placental alkaline phosphatase-like (PLAP-like) enzyme derived from seminomas has recently been focused upon as a possible marker for this disease. The biochemistry of th
