Calf-intestinal alkaline phosphatase

Calf-intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIAP/CIP) is a type of alkaline phosphatase that catalyzes the removal of phosphate groups from the 5' end of DNA strands.[1][2] This enzyme is frequently used in DNA sub-cloning, as DNA fragments that lack the 5' phosphate groups cannot ligate.[3] This prevents recircularization of the linearized DNA vector and improves the yield of the vector containing the appropriate insert.
