Biological role of senescence-associated β-galactosidase. The enzyme is active in the majority of cells at pH 4, indicating their normal state. Senescent cells accumulate pH 6 active β-galactosidase, undergo cell cycle arrest, and obtain senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) overexpressing GLB1 gene (arrow).
