Lipids are essential components of a cell providing energy substrates for cellular processes,
signaling intermediates, and building blocks for biological membranes. Lipids are constantly
recycled and redistributed within a cell. Lysosomes play an important role in this recycling
process that involves the recruitment of lipids to lysosomes via autophagy or endocytosis for
their degradation by lysosomal hydrolases. The catabolites produced are redistributed to
various cellular compartments to support basic cellular function. Several studies …
