Lysosomal enzymes in human tear fluid collected by filter paper strips. 1985

M Kitaoka, and M Nakazawa, and S Hayasaka

Protein concentrations and lysosomal enzyme activities in tear fluid collected by filter paper strips were studied. The magnitude of the wetted area on the filter paper did not affect the apparent protein concentration in the tear fluid. Lysosomal enzyme activities in tear fluid were higher than those in serum. The pH and enzyme activity curves in tear fluid were similar to those in serum. The optimal pH of acid phosphatase, beta-D-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and alpha-D-mannosidase in tear fluid were determined.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
D008361 Mannosidases Glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of alpha or beta linked MANNOSE. Mannosidase
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
