Abstract
Microbodies (peroxisomes have been established as being the intracellular seat of urate oxidase in the livers of various animals and in plants (2,3,4,). So far, two possibilities of intraparticulate localization of this enzyme within microbodies have been found. While in some plant tissues, like in castor bean endosperm, there is a soluble uricase in the peroxisome matrix (5), in most animals it is firmly bound to a crystalline core (nucleoid) within the microbody(2,6,7,8) from which it can not be solubilized (9).
