A Lysosome Enzyme is a type of hydrolytic enzyme found in lysosomes that functions to break down biological polymers delivered through processes like endocytosis and autophagy, maintaining cellular homeostasis by controlling macromolecule turnover.
A pepstatin-inhibitable activity with an acidic pH optimum present in a lysosome-enriched fraction cleaved big ET-1 at positions 18 and 21 at similar rates. A neutral pH activity present in a postlysosomal organelles subfraction was also able to convert big ET-1, and was inhibited b...
What enzyme present in saliva helps in digestion of carbohydrates? Are fats reassembled or not during the digestive process? Explain the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. Discuss the (A) enzymes involved, (B) sites of action, and (C) end-products of digestion. ...
Furthermore, α-syn accumulations inCtsd-/- brains were present in cells co-expressing the neuron marker, neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN), but not in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-immunoreactive astrocytes (Fig.1b–c). Accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins also occurs inCtsd-/- cortex...
Although adenosine, a potent vaso-dilator, crosses the BBB via CNT2, intra-arterial adenosine does not affect cerebral blood flow in the dog [45], and this is attributed to an enzymatic BBB to circulating adenosine that is present in vivo, which results in the rapid metabolism of adenosine ...

Although it appears the average leaf length is slightly longer in TaU4 silenced plants, there is no significant difference when compared to the BSMV:00 control plants. This is again observed in the fresh weight of the leaves, with no signifi- cant difference being present between the silenced ...
Whilst imiglucerase is designed to target the mannose-receptor by terminal mannose groups, previous work had demonstrated that it can bind to M6PR despite the low levels of M6P present in its glycans36. In contrast, uptake and efficacy of hGCase-hBS were unaffected in M6PR-CI KO cells (...
Accordingly, if the function of cathepsin L can be clarified at the early embryogenesis, there is a great possibility of showing the function of protease common in embryogenesis not only in insects, but also in a common organisms. From the above fact, the present inventor has conducted identific...
In another embodiment, the present invention provides an expression vector comprising said polynucleotide encoding the engineered enzyme as described herein. Methods known in the art, e.g., recombinant techniques, can be employed to generate the engineered enzyme described herein. ...
