How are diseases developed by the malfunction of the vacuole?

The vacuole is a very dangerous organelle. The malfunction of the vacuole can cause disease such as Danon disease. Danons disease is cause by mutations in the LAMP 2 gene which usually helps with the fusion of autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes. read more

The malfunction of the vacuole can cause disease such as Danon disease. Danons disease is cause by mutations in the LAMP 2 gene which usually helps with the fusion of autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes. When there are mutations with this gene then the lysosomes and the autophagic vacuole fuse very slowly. read more

In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small. Vacuoles tend to be large in plant cells and play a role in turgor pressure. When a plant is well-watered, water collects in cell vacuoles producing rigidity in the plant. Without sufficient water, pressure in the vacuole is reduced and the plant wilts. read more
