Because lysosomal membranes are rich in proton pumps, their interiors have low pH (≈4.8 vs. the pH≈7.2 cytosol), which acts to denature the GPCRs.
Disease Lysosomes are responsible for a group of genetically inherited disorders called lysosomal storage diseases (LSD).
For example, phosphorylation of oligosaccharides on lysosomal proteins occurs in the early CGN.
Metabolic diseases such as glycogen storage disorders and lysosomal storage disorders are also implicated.
Other conditions are due to defects in lysosomal membrane proteins that fail to transport the enzyme, non-enzymatic soluble lysosomal proteins.
People with diabetes mellitus may have increased lysosomal activity and the degradation of some proteins can increase significantly.
