phagocytic vesicle lumen

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

The volume enclosed by the membrane of a phagocytic vesicle. [GOC:rs]

The phagocytic vesicle lumen is a specialized compartment within eukaryotic cells that plays a crucial role in the engulfment and degradation of foreign particles, such as bacteria, viruses, and cellular debris. It is formed when a cell membrane invaginates and surrounds the target particle, creating a sealed vesicle. The lumen of the phagocytic vesicle is characterized by its acidic pH, which is maintained by proton pumps located in the vesicle membrane. This acidic environment facilitates the activity of various hydrolytic enzymes, such as proteases, nucleases, and lipases, which are responsible for breaking down the engulfed material. The lumen also contains a variety of other molecules, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), antimicrobial peptides, and signaling molecules. These molecules contribute to the destruction of pathogens and the regulation of immune responses. The phagocytic vesicle lumen is a dynamic compartment that undergoes continuous changes in size, composition, and pH as the engulfed material is degraded. It ultimately fuses with lysosomes, which are the primary sites of intracellular degradation, to complete the breakdown of the target particle. The lumen of the phagocytic vesicle is a complex and highly regulated environment that is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system.'
