Lysosomale
Lysosomale refers to anything pertaining to lysosomes, the membrane-bound organelles responsible for intracellular digestion in eukaryotic cells. Lysosomale processes are essential for breaking down waste materials, damaged organelles, and macromolecules that are no longer needed by the cell.
Lysosomes are bounded by a single membrane and contain a suite of hydrolytic enzymes that function best
Biogenesis and trafficking involve the endomembrane system. Lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, modified
Functions of lysosomale systems include degradation of macromolecules, autophagic turnover of organelles, and digestion of extracellular
Clinical relevance includes lysosomal storage diseases, caused by deficient lysosomal enzymes or trafficking defects, such as
