Assembly of the Peroxisomal Membrane

  • Chapter
Membrane Biogenesis

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 22))

Abstract

Peroxisomes are found in virtually all eukaryotic cells ranging from eukaryotic microorganisms to plants and animals. In addition to a variety of other enzymes, peroxisomes contain hydrogen peroxide-producing oxidases and catalase that decomposes hydrogen peroxide. The name peroxisome refers to the organelle’s role in the production and disposition of hydrogen peroxide (de Duve and Bau-dhuin, 1966).
