Lysosomal hydrolases of the epidermis. 4. Overall profile in comparison with dermis and other tissues.
The activities of fifteen acid hydrolases have been measured in seven tissues of the guinea-pig; fourteen of these were also assayed in the epidermis of four other mammalian species. The most striking finding was that the proportion of acid phosphatase was consistently much higher in epidermis than in the other tissues investigated.
