Lysosomal enzymes are a group of hydrolytic enzymes primarily found within lysosomes, which are membrane-bound organelles present in animal cells. These enzymes play a crucial role in cellular digestion and recycling processes. Lysosomes function as the "digestive system" of the cell, breaking down various biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and complex carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be reused by the cell. Lysosomal enzymes accomplish this through hydrolysis, a chemical process that involves breaking down larger molecules.
