In this review, we describe the current state of knowledge about the biochemistry of
mammalian peroxisomes, especially human peroxisomes. The identification and …

Peroxisomal fatty acid degradation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires an array
of β-oxidation enzyme activities as well as a set of auxiliary activities to provide the β …

We have purified peroxisomal membranes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae after induction of
peroxisomes in oleic acid-containing media. About 30 distinct proteins could be discerned …

Background Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They also provide raw
materials for a variety of important cellular processes such as energy generation, nitrogen …

Peroxisomes play key roles in energy metabolism, cell signaling, and plant development. A
better understanding of these important functions will be achieved with a more complete …

The requirement for small molecule transport systems across the peroxisomal membrane
has previously been postulated, but not directly proven. Here we report the identification and …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae pas3-mutants are described which conform the pas-phenotype
recently reported for the peroxisomal assembly mutants pas1-1 and pas2 (Erdmann, R., M …

In recent years, much progress has been made with respect to the unravelling of the
functions of peroxisomes in metabolism, and it is now well established that peroxisomes are …

Peroxisomal β-oxidation is involved in the degradation of long chain and very long chain
fatty acyl-(coenzyme A) CoAs, long chain dicarboxylyl-CoAs, the CoA esters of eicosanoids …

Peroxisomes are essential subcellular organelles involved in a variety of metabolic
processes. Their importance is underlined by the identification of a large group of inherited …
