An enzyme absent from this organelle is the principal cause of Pompe's disease.
An enzyme absent from this organelle is the principal cause of Pompe's disease. Enzymes for this organelle are tagged with mannose-six- phosphate by the Golgi body. They were discovered after Christian de Duve put some liver cells in a centrifuge. A buildup of their gangliosides results in (*) Tay-Sachs disease. Autophagy occurs in these structures, whose enzymes initiate autolysis, or programmed cell death. Name these "suicide sacs", organelles that also assist in cellular digestion by breaking up large molecules.
