Summary A general survey of the actual knowledges on the bone phosphatase is given. The enzyme plays an important rôle in the calcification of bone and teeth, this process being unable to proceed at a physiological speed without the participation of a phosphatase. The biological function of the enzyme is thus to accelerate and not to promote the calcification. The knowledge of the mechanism of phosphatase activity in the skeletal organs and of the chemical composition of the bone salt cannot lead to a full understanding of the physiology of ossification. A prominent function in this field is devoted to the proteins of the ground substance of bone and to their evolution. The study of the protein matrix of bone is now the most important subject of work for the biochemistry of ossification.
