Acid hydrolases in the bovine corneal epithelium. 1986

T Shiono, and S Hayasaka, and K Mizuno

The activities of acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, alpha-mannosidase, alpha-fucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, arylsulfatase, and cathepsin D were biochemically investigated in the bovine cornea by separating the tissue into two layers, epithelium and stroma-endothelium. Acid phosphatase, alpha-mannosidase, alpha-fucosidase, and arylsulfatase disclosed much higher activities in the epithelial layer than in the stroma-endothelial layer. The other enzymes showed little difference in enzyme activity between the two layers.

D003315	Cornea	The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D003319	Corneal Stroma	The lamellated connective tissue constituting the thickest layer of the cornea between the Bowman and Descemet membranes.	Corneal Stromas,Stroma, Corneal,Stromas, Corneal
D004848	Epithelium	The layers of EPITHELIAL CELLS which cover the inner and outer surfaces of the cutaneous, mucus, and serous tissues and glands of the body.

D006867	Hydrolases	Any member of the class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of the substrate and the addition of water to the resulting molecules, e.g., ESTERASES, glycosidases (GLYCOSIDE HYDROLASES), lipases, NUCLEOTIDASES, peptidases (PEPTIDE HYDROLASES), and phosphatases (PHOSPHORIC MONOESTER HYDROLASES). EC 3.	Hydrolase
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
