Abstract
Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that is accompanied by corneal opacity. Explants from MCD-affected corneas have been reported to synthesize low-sulfated KS, suggesting that sulfate groups attached to KS may play critical roles in maintaining corneal transparency. To clear the biosynthetic defect in the MCD cornea, sulfotransferase activities were determined that are presumably involved in the...
