MindMap Gallery Protein breakdown
Proteins are broken down into amino acids through proteolysis within cells, involving lysosomal, proteasome, and autophagy pathways. Proteolysis is tightly regulated by various signals, including hormones, nutrients, and stress, to maintain protein homeostasis. Improper regulation of protein breakdown can result in pathological conditions such as muscle wasting, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
