Lízózyomok are specialized organelles found in eukaryotic cells, serving as the primary sites for intracellular digestion. These spherical vesicles are enclosed by a single membrane and are filled with a variety of hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes are capable of breaking down a wide range of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. The acidic environment within the lysosome, maintained by proton pumps in the membrane, is optimal for the activity of these enzymes.
Lízózyomok play a crucial role in cellular housekeeping, removing waste materials and cellular debris through a
