Loosely bound to one surface of the lysosome membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. A proton-transporting two-sector ATPase complex found in the lysosomal membrane, where it acts as a proton pump to mediate acidification of the lysosomal lumen. The lipid bilayer surrounding the vacuole and separating its contents from the cytoplasm of the cell. A vacuole that is maintained at an acidic pH and which contains degradative enzymes, including a wide variety of acid hydrolases. The lipid bilayer surrounding an organelle. Any constituent part of a vacuole, a closed structure, found only in eukaryotic cells, that is completely surrounded by unit membrane and contains liquid material. The lipid bilayer surrounding the lysosome and separating its contents from the cell cytoplasm. A small lytic vacuole that has cell cycle-independent morphology and is found in most animal cells and that contains a variety of hydrolases, most of which have their maximal activities in the pH range 5-6. The contained enzymes display latency if properly isolated. About 40 different lysosomal hydrolases are known and lysosomes have a great variety of morphologies and functions.
