Lysosome Membrane

Molecular classification
Phospholipid bilayer, Membrane
01

Overview

The lysosome membrane is a single phospholipid bilayer that encloses the lysosomal lumen, creating a distinct acidic environment necessary for the function of hydrolytic enzymes. It maintains cellular homeostasis by controlling the passage of materials, protecting the cytosol, and enabling fusion events. Stabilization and accumulation of the lysosome membrane are relevant in disease contexts such as neurodegeneration and cancer therapy resistance.
