Lysosomal enzymes are a kind of biological enzymes, which are small bodies containing a series of acidic hydrolyzing enzymes surrounded by a monolayer of lipoprotein membrane in the cell plasma.
Modern research has found that lysosomes contain about 60 types of enzymes, including hydrolytic enzymes of proteins, sugars, lipids and other substances, such as acid phospholipase, histone protease, ribonuclease, as well as aromatic sulfate esterase A and B.
If the enzyme activity within the lysosome is insufficient, activation proteins, transport proteins or lysosomal protein processing correction enzyme deficiency and cause lysosomal function defects, resulting in secondary lysosomes in the corresponding substrate can not be digested, substrate accumulation, metabolic disorders, the formation of accumulation of disease, known as lysosomal storage disease.
In addition, the lysosomal enzyme activity test is the gold standard for the diagnosis of lysosomal storage disease, if there is any discomfort, consult the doctor in time, do not be negligent, so as to avoid the delay of the disease.
