What are some biological examples in which lysosomic enzymes play a fundamental role?
The remodelation of the osseous tissue, the function of acrosomes in sperm cells and the elimination of the tadpole tail are instance of biological processes in which lysosomic enzymes are key factors.
The bone is a tissue made of osteoblast-containing matrix (osteoblasts are the secretory cells of the osseous matrix), osteocytes (mature bone cells) and osteoclasts (the remodeling cells). Osteoclasts are responsible for the continual renovation of the osseous tissue since their lysosomic enzymes digest the osseous matrix.
