Uncovering a key enzyme opens possible therapeutic avenues for lysosomal diseases

Nature, Published online: 07 May 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-01368-6Lipid recycling in organelles called lysosomes depends on the lipid BMP, which was thought to be resistant to degradation by lysosomal enzymes. It emerges that the enzyme PLA2G15 breaks down BMP, and inhibiting PLA2G15 extends lifespan in a mouse model of NiemannPick type C1, a neurodegenerative disorder marked by impaired lysosomal lipid metabolism.
