Abstract

The activities of acid phosphatase,N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, α-fucosidase, β-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, α-mannosidase, α-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.
