Regional distribution of lysosomal enzymes in the retina and choroid of human eyes.
Regional distribution of lysosomal enzymes in the retina and choroid of human eyes was studied biochemically. Specific activities of acid phosphatase, cathepsin D, and arylsulfatase in the retina and choroid varied by area were also studied. The macular area showed the highest activities in comparison to other areas.
