HistoryKeratan sulfate was identified in 1939 by Suzuki in extracts of cornea (Suzuki, 1939), and by the 1950s the efforts of Karl Meyer (who coined the name keratosulfate) and others had characterized this material as a linear polymer of lactosamine, 3Galb1-4GlcNAcb1, sulfated at the C6 of both hexose moieties (Meyer et al., 1953).[5*][3]
