The molecular basis of lysosomal storage diseases and their treatment.

Abstract excerpt

The lysosomal system is the main intracellular mechanism for the catabolism of naturally occurring endogenous and exogenous macromolecules and the subsequent recycling of their constituent monomeric components. It also plays an important part in processing essential metabolites. A genetic defect in a protein responsible for maintaining the lysosomal system results in the accumulation within lysosomes of partially...
