Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) such as Zellweger syndrome (ZS) and neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy are autosomal recessive diseases caused by defects in peroxisome assembly, for which 13 genotypes have been identified. Expression of the human peroxin Pex3p cDNA encoding a 373-amino-acid peroxisomal membrane protein morphologically and biochemically restored peroxisome biogenesis, including peroxisomal...
