Peroxisomes are unique among the organelles of the endomembrane system. Unlike other
organelles that derive most if not all of their proteins from the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) …

Peroxisomes are organelles that carry out diverse biochemical processes in eukaryotic cells,
including the core pathways of β-oxidation of lipid molecules and detoxification of reactive …

PMPs (peroxisome membrane proteins) play essential roles in organelle biogenesis and in
co-ordinating peroxisomal metabolism with pathways in other subcellular compartments …

Peroxisomes are a class of structurally and functionally related organelles present in almost
all eukaryotic cells. The importance of peroxisomes for human life is highlighted by severe …

Peroxisomes are unique organelles whose physiological functions vary depending on the
cellular environment or metabolic and developmental state of the organism. These changes …

Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are the subcellular location of important
metabolic reactions. In humans, defects in the organelle's function are often lethal. Yet …

The import of proteins into the peroxisome matrix is an essential step in peroxisome
biogenesis, which is critical for normal functioning of most eukaryotic cells. The translocation …

Peroxisomes are vital metabolic organelles that import their lumenal (matrix) enzymes from
the cytosol using mobile receptors. Surprisingly, the receptors can even import folded …

Peroxisomes are small organelles with a single boundary membrane. All of their matrix
proteins are nuclear-encoded, synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytosol, and post …

Blobel and coworkers discovered in 1978 that peroxisomal proteins are synthesized on free
ribosomes in the cytosol and thus provided the grounds for the conception of peroxisomes …
