Lysosomes are membrane-surrounded organelles which contain 50 different enzymes capable of breaking down biological polymers such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. If a person suffers from deficiency of any type of enzymes, the body cannot hydrolase the biological polymers. These unbroken large biological molecules (such as lipids, protein) amass in the lysosome, deviating from the normal cell function and causing lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). Each LSD is caused ... Read more
