Lysosomal digestion is the use of lysosomes (enzymes contained in vesicles) to break down substances that enter a cell by endocytosis. Usually the substances they break down are harmful to the cell.

Lysosomes contain an enzyme called acid hydrolase (also called lysosomal acid lipase). It is a digestive enzyme that breaks down non-functional organelles, food particles, and invaders such as bacteria and viruses. Acid hydrolase works best at a pH of 4.5.
