MoPex19, which is essential for maintenance of peroxisomal structure and woronin bodies, is required for metabolism and development in the rice blast fungus. [PDF]
Peroxisomes are present ubiquitously and make important contributions to cellular metabolism in eukaryotes. They play crucial roles in pathogenicity of plant fungal pathogens.

Peroxisomal regulation of energy homeostasis: Effect on obesity and related metabolic disorders
Background Peroxisomes are single membrane-bound organelles named for their role in hydrogen peroxide production and catabolism. However, their cellular functions extend well beyond reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism and include fatty acid ...

Hepatic dysfunction in peroxisomal disorders.
The peroxisomal compartment in hepatocytes hosts several essential metabolic conversions. These are defective in peroxisomal disorders that are either caused by failure to import the enzymes in the organelle or by mutations in the enzymes or in ...

Peroxisomal disorders (PD) are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases caused by a defect in peroxisome biogenesis or a disruption of a peroxisomal function at a single enzyme or at transporter level.

Dysfunctional peroxisomal lipid metabolisms and their ocular manifestations
Retina is rich in lipids and dyslipidemia causes retinal dysfunction and eye diseases. In retina, lipids are not only important membrane component in cells and organelles but also fuel substrates for energy production.

Pmp27 Promotes Peroxisomal Proliferation [PDF]
Peroxisomes perform many essential functions in eukaryotic cells. The weight of evidence indicates that these organelles divide by budding from preexisting peroxisomes. This process is not understood at the molecular level.

Beyond rare disorders: A new era for peroxisomal pathophysiology.
Metabolism is emerging as a central influencer of multiple disease states in humans. Peroxisomes are central metabolic organelles whose decreased function gives rise to severe peroxisomal diseases.

A comparative study of peroxisomal structures in Hansenula polymorpha pex mutants [PDF]
In a recent study, we performed a systematic genome analysis for the conservation of genes involved in peroxisome biogenesis (PEX genes) in various fungi.

Pay32p of the Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica Is an Intraperoxisomal Component of the Matrix Protein Translocation Machinery [PDF]
Pay mutants of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica fail to assemble functional peroxisomes. One mutant strain, pay32-1, has abnormally small peroxisomes that are often found in clusters surrounded by membranous material.

Cytoprotective and Antioxidants in Peroxisomal Neurodegenerative Diseases
Several of the peroxisomal neurodegenerative disorders are the consequence of a specific deficiency of an enzyme or a transporter involved in peroxisomal beta-oxidation of very long chain fatty acids [1,2].
