Part Descriptions
LP14490-4 Keratan sulfate
A sulfated mucopolysaccharide initially isolated from bovine cornea. At least two types are known. Type I, found mostly in the cornea, contains D-galactose and D-glucosamine-6-O-sulfate as the repeating unit; type II, found in skeletal tissues, contains D-galactose and D-galactosamine-6-O-sulfate as the repeating unit.

LP14490-4 Keratan sulfate
Keratan sulfate (KS) is one of the glycosaminoglycans found primarily in the cornea, nervous tissue, and bone. When the enzyme that breaks down KS is deficient or absent, KS accumulates in lysosomes which results in cell, tissue, and organ dysfunction. The lysosomal storage disorders are known as mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and can involve impaired enzymatic function that blocks the catabolism of any of the glycosaminoglycans, including dermatan sulfate, heparin sulfate, keratan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, or hyaluronan. MPS due to the accumulation of any one or more glycosaminoglycans have many symptoms in common including a chronic or progressive course, multisystem involvement, organomegaly, dysostosis multiplex, abnormal facies, affected hearing, affected vision, affected airway, cardiovascular issues, profound mental retardation, and joint mobility difficulties. MPS can be diagnosed by testing for the deficient or absent enzyme. Enzyme replacement therapy is used to monitor treatment.[https://ommbid.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=971§ionid=62642135]
