Peroxisomes and their Key Role in Cellular Signaling and Metabolism

Peroxisomes and their Key Role in Cellular Signaling and Metabolism edited by Luis A. del Río.

Peroxisomes are a class of ubiquitous and dynamic single membrane-bounded cell organelles, devoid of DNA, with an essentially oxidative type of metabolism. Today it is known that fatty acid β-oxidation is a general feature of virtually all types of peroxisomes, but in higher eukaryotes, including hu...
