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

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. …

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, and …

<p id="p001">We report on a newborn girl with microcephaly, abnormal brain development,
optic atrophy and hypoplasia, persistent lactic acidemia, and a mildly elevated plasma …

We report the cloning and sequence of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene
(GAP) from the yeast Pichia pastoris. The gene is predicted to encode a 35.4-kDa protein …

Hyperimmunoglobulinaemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS; MIM 260920) is an
autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of fever associated with …

… Highest expression was observed in adult adrenal gland and, to a lesser extent, in adult
spinal cord, liver, medulla oblongata, and pons as well as in fetal liver (HR Waterham, …

Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles with an indispensable role in cellular metabolism.
The importance of peroxisomes for humans is stressed by the existence of a group of genetic …

X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X‐ALD) is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, which
encodes a peroxisomal ABC half‐transporter (ALDP) involved in the import of very long‐…

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