These enzymes are capable of breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, and invading pathogens. Under certain conditions, such as during programmed cell death (apoptosis) or severe cell damage, the lysosomal membrane can rupture, releasing these enzymes into the cytoplasm and digesting the cell itself.
