In animal cells, vacuoles function as storage compartments for waste, water, and other toxins. Also, they can help maintain the pH of the cell (by releasing or taking in H+ ions) and the turgor of the cell (by taking in solutes and water or vice versa).

They also have a role in the recycling of misfolded proteins or parts of polypeptides.
