Lipids play crucial roles in signal transduction, contribute to the structural integrity of cellular
membranes, and regulate energy metabolism. Questions remain as to which lipid species …

Peroxisomes are often dismissed as the cellular hoi polloi, relegated to cleaning up reactive
oxygen chemical debris discarded by other organelles. However, their functions extend far …

Peroxisomes are unique subcellular organelles which play an indispensable role in several
key metabolic pathways which include:(1.) etherphospholipid biosynthesis;(2.) fatty acid …

▪ Abstract The synthesis and excretion of bile acids comprise the major pathway of
cholesterol catabolism in mammals. Synthesis provides a direct means of converting …

It has long been recognized that energy metabolism is linked to the production of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) and critical enzymes allied to metabolic pathways can be affected by …

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

▪ Abstract β-Oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes. Mitochondria catalyze
the β-oxidation of the bulk of short-, medium-, and long-chain fatty acids derived from diet …

Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles which are present in virtually every eukaryotic cell
and catalyze a large number of metabolic functions. The importance of peroxisomes for …

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 …

Peroxisomal disorders are a group of inherited diseases in man in which either peroxisome
biogenesis or one or more peroxisomal functions are impaired. The peroxisomal disorders …
