'''Storage diseases.''' Lysosomes are membrane bound vesicles, containing enzymes which are capable of degrading the majority of biologically important macromolecules. An inherited deficiency in anyone of these enzymes results in the accumulation of substrate within lysosomes; in type i/v mucopolysaccharidosis, for example, this may be evident as blue-magenta coloured granules within the neutrophils’ cytoplasm. | '''Storage diseases.'''
