01

Overview

Lysosomal hydrolases are a family of enzymes located within lysosomes that catalyze the hydrolysis of various macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. They function optimally at acidic pH and are essential for cellular homeostasis, autophagy, and the degradation of cellular waste. Deficiencies in specific lysosomal hydrolases lead to lysosomal storage disorders. These enzymes are also implicated in other diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer.
