Autophagy
Two main proteolytic system in Eukaryotes
1) Autophagy-lysosomal proteolysis: Responsible for mainly long-lived proteolysis.
2) Proteosomal proteolysis: Mainly degrade short-lived proteolysis
Autophagy:
"Auto" means self
"Phagy" (Greek word - phagein) means eating
"Autophagy" means self eating
Autophagy Is a bulk degradation process in which portion of cytoplasmic constituents (mitochondria, ER, protein etc) is sequestered and degraded by lysosomal acid hydrolases, and serve vital function by supplying amino acids during starvation.
