3 Questions
What happens to cytosolic proteins when they are no longer needed?
They are broken down in lysosomes to create new proteins or enter the citric acid cycle for energy generation
What is the fate of amino acids resulting from protein catabolism if not used for synthesizing new proteins?
They can enter the citric acid cycle for energy generation
In which process do cathepsins and other catabolic enzymes work together?
Apoptotic process
Test your knowledge of the process of protein catabolism and its role in cellular turnover, including the breakdown of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes and the generation of energy from resulting amino acids.
