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.
LysosomeNeuroprotectionThe present study investigated the role of lysosomal enzymes in excitotoxic neuronal damage induced by excessive stimulation of non-NMDA glutamate receptors with kainic acid (KA). Internucleosomal DNA fragmentation was induced after intrastriatal administration of KA 1.25–5.0 nmol to...
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...
We produced RTB:IDUA using an Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression system in the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. Production of the non-toxic RTB lectin in a heterologous plant system elim- inates any possible ricin toxicity (no RTA is present). In addition, plant-based production systems ...

The present investigation shows this is possible with a versatile approach that employs fusion of the enzyme to either the IgG heavy chain or light chain using a long flexible linker. The model IgG is a chimeric monoclonal antibody (MAb) against the human insulin receptor (HIR). The enzyme ...

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 ...
The present invention is directed to new compounds useful as prodrugs. Such prodrugs may be used for treatment of disease, especially tumors, in patients. 2. Background Many therapeutic agents, such as anthracyclines and vinca alkaloids, are especially effective for the treatment of cancers. However...
