Lysosomal hydrolases of the epidermis. 2. Ester hydrolases

Br J Dermatol. 1975 Oct;93(4):391-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1975.tb06512.x.

Abstract

Five distinct ester hydrolases (EC 3-1) have been characterized in guinea-pig epidermis. These are carboxylic esterase, acid phosphatase, pyrophosphatase, and arylsulphatase A and B. Their properties are consistent with those of lysosomal enzymes.
