About this video
Lysosomes: how they digest, recycle, and protect cells — learn lysosome structure, enzymes, formation, functions, and disease. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles packed with hydrolytic enzymes (proteases, lipases, glycosidases, nucleases) that function in an acidic environment maintained by V-type ATPases. This video explains lysosome structure, how the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum produce and target enzymes via mannose-6-phosphate tagging, and how endosome maturation creates active lysosomes. Viewers will learn the core processes lysosomes enable — intracellular digestion, autophagy, endocytosis, phagocytosis, immune defense,…
