Lysosome Isolation protocol summary
- Isolate and homogenize cells or tissue
- Centrifuge homogenate and keep supernatent
- Carefully add supernatent to discontinuous density gradient
- Remove band containing enriched lysosome fraction
- Use for downstream applications e.g. activity assays, SDS-PAGE, Western blot
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K235 Lysosome Purification Kit. K235-50 is the same size as the 50 test size of ab234047.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound cell organelles found in most animal cells (except red blood cells). Lysosomes are spherical vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes capable of breaking down different kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cellular debris. They are known to contain over 50 different enzymes, which are active under acidic conditions. Thus, lysosomes act as the waste disposal system of the cells by digesting unwanted materials in the cytoplasm.
