Peroxisomes are dynamic organelles that play an essential role in a variety of cellular
catabolic and anabolic metabolic pathways, including fatty acid alpha-and beta-oxidation …

Plasmalogens are a class of membrane glycerophospholipids with unique properties. They
contain a vinyl-ether linked alkyl chain at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone and …

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

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth and agriculture productivity. To
cope with salt stress, plants have evolved complex salt-responsive signaling and metabolic …

Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) represent the major subgroup within the peroxisomal
biogenesis disorders caused by defects in PEX genes. The Zellweger spectrum is a clinical …

Plasmalogens (1-O-alk-1′-enyl-2-acyl glycerophospholipids) constitute a special class of
phospholipids characterized by the presence of a vinyl–ether bond at the sn-1 position …

Human peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a heterogeneous group of autosomal
recessive disorders comprised of two clinically distinct subtypes: the Zellweger syndrome …

Many proteins contain targeting signals within their sequences that specify their delivery to
particular organelles. The peroxisomal targeting signal-1 (PTS1) is a C-terminal tripeptide …

Peroxisomes are important organelles in plant metabolism, containing all the enzymes
required for fatty acid β-oxidation. More than 20 proteins are required for peroxisomal …

Primary cicatricial or scarring alopecias (CA) are a group of inflammatory hair disorders of
unknown pathogenesis characterized by the permanent destruction of the hair follicle. The …
