ubiquitins
protozoa
Proteolytic enzymes will destroy the cells that produced them if they are produced in an active form. To protect the body's own cells these enzymes are secreted in an inactive form into the digestive tract and activated where they are needed.
Cells may contain enzymes that degrade DNA, such as nucleases, for several reasons. These enzymes play a crucial role in cellular processes like apoptosis, where they help eliminate damaged or unwanted DNA to maintain genomic integrity. Additionally, they are involved in DNA repair mechanisms, allowing the cell to remove faulty DNA segments and facilitate proper repair. Furthermore, in certain immune responses, these enzymes can help eliminate viral DNA from infected cells.
Yes, macrophages contain lysosomes that contain digestive enzymes such as lysozyme and proteases. These enzymes help the macrophages break down and destroy invading bacteria and other pathogens.
First of all enzymes dont 'destroy'. They break down molecules to simpler ones. These are called breaker enzymes.
lysosomes
Enzymes that destroy cells' DNA and cytoskeleton, leading to rapid cell death, are known as caspases. These enzymes play a crucial role in the process of programmed cell death, or apoptosis.
No, they are not.
helminths
protozoa
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of enzymes and reactive oxygen species (such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide) to effectively kill and eliminate the bacteria. These substances help the immune cells to break down and degrade the bacteria's cell wall and components.
White blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses found in your body by releasing enzymes and proteins to break down the foreign cells then consuming it.
Tongue
Antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase are produced by the body to neutralize and destroy free radicals. These enzymes help prevent cellular damage and oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
