Imaging keratan sulfate in ocular tissue sections by immunofluorescence microscopy and LA-ICP-MS
Carbohydrate-specific antibodies can serve as valuable tools to monitor alterations in the extracellular matrix resulting from pathologies. Here, the keratan sulfate-specific monoclonal antibody MZ15 was characterized in more detail by immunofluorescence

Increased Urinary Excretion of Keratan Sulfate in Fucosidosis [PDF]
In two children exhibiting the clinical symptoms of fucosidosis, the diagnosis was biochemically ascertained by the demonstration of a profound altpha-L-fucosidase deficiency in cultured skin fibroblasts. The non-dialysed urines of these fucosidosis patients were separated into two fractions by chromatography on Biogel P-2.

A glycosidase which attacks corneal keratan sulfate was purified from extracts of Pseudomonas sp. IFO-13309. When corneal keratan sulfate was degraded by the purified enzyme, Sephadex G-50 chromatography indicated the presence of a number of oligosaccharides differing in size and sulfate content.

Establishment of Glycosaminoglycan Assays for Mucopolysaccharidoses
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzymes essential for catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Abstract Protein-keratan sulfate core was isolated from bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan after enzymatically removing chondroitin sulfate with chondroitinase AC from Flavobacterium heparinum. The core preparation exhibited a broad, approximately Gaussian distribution of buoyant densities in CsCl density gradients (between 1.43 and 1.58 g per ml with

Proton conductivity of glycosaminoglycans.
Proton conductivity is important in many natural phenomena including oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and archaea, uncoupling membrane potentials by the antibiotic Gramicidin, and proton actuated bioluminescence in dinoflagellate.

Collagens and proteoglycans of the corneal extracellular matrix
The cornea is a curved and transparent structure that provides the initial focusing of a light image into the eye. It consists of a central stroma that constitutes 90% of the corneal depth, covered anteriorly with epithelium and posteriorly with ...

Characterization and Determination of Human Urinary Keratan Sulfate.
Keratan sulfate was isolated from normal human urine and was characterized by sugar compositional analysis and H-NMR spectroscopy. It was found that KS from human urine is classified as skeletal type (KS-II type chain) with an O-glycosidic linkage between galactosamine and serine (or threonine).

Sulodexide. Nephroprotective properties and horizons for use in nephrology
Sulodexide belongs to the class of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides. Found in mammalian tissuesm, GAGs regulate the activity of a wide range of proteins (including chemokines, cytokines, growth factors, enzymes, morphogens, and adhesion ...

Morquio syndrome (MS) is an autosomal recessive defect caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase. Odontoid hypoplasia, periodontoid soft tissue deposition, and cervical stenosis lead to myelopathy and quadriparesis in these patients ...
