Proteasomes
Description
Proteasomes are complexes of Proteolytic Enzymes similar to cellular organelles.
Function of Proteasomes
Aging Process
Proteasomes play a role in retarding the Aging Process (due to their role in destroying and removing damaged, oxidized and cross-linked Endogenous Proteins from the body). [1]
Proteasomes may help to prevent the accumulation of Lipofuscin. [2]
Cells
Proteasomes are responsible for undertaking the process in Senescent Cells. They are therefore responsible for the timely destruction and removal of cross-linked, damaged Endogenous Proteins from the body.
Metabolism
Proteasomes are responsible for undertaking the process in Cells. They are therefore responsible for the timely destruction and removal of the damaged Endogenous Proteins created during the Cross-Linking process. [3]
