Lysosomal enzymes
What are Lysosomal enzymes?
Lysosomal enzymes are synthetic forms of these enzymes, which occur naturally in the body cells, and that are necessary for metabolic processes. Naturally occurring lysosomal enzymes breakdown large molecules and other materials that get taken up by the cell. Deficiency of these enzymes causes storage disease that can affect growth and development failure.
Lysosomal enzymes are used to treat conditions where the body lacks these particular enzymes.
Lysosomes are single membrane–bound intracellular organelles that contain enzymes called hydrolases. These lysosomal enzymes are responsible for splitting large molecules into simple, low-molecular-weight compounds, which can be recycled.
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
Lysosomal enzymes gain access to the extracellular environment by the selective secretion of lysosome granule contents from neutrophils during cell contact with various immune reactants. Discharge of lysosomal contents results in the provocation of acute inflammation and connective tissue degradation.
