| keratan sulfate | <chemical> 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. Chemical name: Keratosulfate (12 Dec 1998) |

| keratan sulphate | Heteropolysaccharides which contain an n-acetylated hexosamine in a characteristic repeating disaccharide unit. The repeating structure of each disaccharide involves alternate 1,4- and 1,3-linkages consisting of either n-acetylglucosamine or n-acetylgalactosamine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| keratan-sulfate endo-1,4-beta-galactosidase | <enzyme> Do not confuse with EC 3.2.1.102 blood-group substance endo-1,4-beta-galactosidase which is also called in enzyme nomenclature endo-beta-galactosidase Registry number: EC 3.2.1.103 Synonym: keratanase, endo-beta-galactosidase (26 Jun 1999) |
