Polysome

__Polysome –__ is a large cytoplasmic granule consisting of filaments built from proteins *tubulin, dynein protein, myosin, amyloidogen* and others. The size of polysomes depends on the cell’s need for transport of amino acids or ribose-5-phosphate for protein synthesis (for example, with cell hypertrophy, the size of polysomes increases). The functions of polysomes vary depending on the cell type to which they are characteristic. In some cells, the function of polysomes is unclear.

Polysomes can be seen and observed in an electron microscope with the ability to magnify from 2 to 30 thousand times. Typically, polysomes are vesicles of several thousand tubulin molecules and are usually accompanied by a residual pool of at least 8 ATPase molecules. Such large sizes make them visible against the background of ordinary cytoplasm.



Polysomes are cells that are found in the central nervous system and regulate the functioning of other cells. Polysomes function as neurotransmitters, bind to neuron receptors and transmit information from one neuron to another. They also play a role in regulating metabolic processes in brain cells.
