... are fundamentally important to robust plant growth and defense. Chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes are essential organelles in plants that function independently and coordinately during energy metabolism and other key metabolic processes. In response to developmental and environmental stimuli, these energy...

...Peiqiang Feng; Michael L. Skowyra; Tom A. Rapoport Peroxisomes are membrane-bounded organelles that exist in most eukaryotic cells and are involved in the oxidation of fatty acids and the destruction of reactive oxygen species. Depending on the organism, they house additional metabolic reactions...

...Logan P. Crowe; Meredith T. Morris Kinetoplastid parasites have essential organelles called glycosomes that are analogous to peroxisomes present in other eukaryotes. While many of the processes that regulate glycosomes are conserved, there are several unique aspects of their biology...

...Viktor Hlaváč; Pavel Souček ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, belonging to the family D, are expressed in peroxisomes, endoplasmic reticulum or lysosomes. ABCD transporters play a role in transport of lipids, bile acids and vitamin B12 and associate with peroxisomal disorders. ABCD1 performs...

...R. J. A. Wanders; P. Vreken; S. Ferdinandusse; G. A. Jansen; H. R. Waterham; C. W. T. van Roermund; E. G. Van Grunsven 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...
