Study Notes
Macroautophagy Process
- Autophagosome formation involves a double-membraned structure that engulfs cellular material.
- Cellular cargo targeted includes damaged organelles and protein aggregates that require degradation.
- The autophagosome fuses with lysosomes to initiate the breakdown of the enclosed materials.
- Lysosomes are equipped with enzymes that are essential for the degradation of cellular cargo.
- This mechanism allows for the recycling of components, contributing to cellular homeostasis and waste management.
