Preferred Label : lysosomes;
MeSH definition : A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant
tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked
latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their
lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between
the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the
enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they
are enclosed is ruptured. Such rupture is supposed to be under metabolic (hormonal)
control. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed); A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant
