Lysosomal Function

Molecular classification
Organelle function/process, Enzyme (indirectly via hydrolases), Signaling hub
01

Overview

Lysosomal function encompasses a set of essential cellular processes carried out by lysosomes, the cell's primary digestive system. These membrane-bound organelles degrade macromolecules, recycle cellular components via autophagy, participate in immune responses, and act as signaling hubs involved in energy sensing and homeostasis. Dysregulation of lysosomal function is implicated in various diseases, making it a target for therapeutic intervention.
