Its membrane maintains an acidic environment in the interior, necessary for hydrolases to function.
Although mannose-6-phosphate tagged molecules are sent to this organelle, its failure results in I-cell disease, characterized by the formation of inclusion bodies. Niemann-Pick disease and Gaucher's disease are results of malfunction in it, while sphingo-lipid buildup around it occurs in [*] Tay-Sachs disease. Its namesake enzymes are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum, though this organelle itself buds off from the Golgi apparatus. Its membrane maintains an acidic environment in the interior, necessary for hydrolases to function. For 10 points, what organelle uses autophagy to consume old organelles and digest macromolecules?
