Discovered in 1950 by Rene de Duve, mannose-6-phosphate tags molecules destined for it.  It secretes a hydrogen ion ATPase in order to acidify its immediate environment.  Born from endosomes in receptor-mediated endocytosis, Pompe and Gaucher diseases are caused by its malfunction and a deficiency of hexosaminidase-A produced by this organelle causes Tay-Sachs disease.  Involved in apoptosis, its components are produced by the rough ER and packaged by the Golgi body.  FTP, name this organelle that digests macromolecules and releases lytic enzymes upon a cell's death.
