Linking albinism and immunity: the secrets of secretory lysosomes.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 2 Jul 2004

Stinchcombe Jane, Bossi Giovanna, Griffiths Gillian M

Abstract excerpt

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found in all mammalian cells and contain hydrolases and lipases required for protein and membrane degradation. In many cells of the immune system, lysosomes also contain secretory proteins that can be released by regulated exocytosis in response to an external stimulus, providing different cell types with a wide range of effector functions. Melanosomes also use a...
