Abstract excerpt
Pig heart peroxisomal carbonyl reductase (PerCR) belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family, and its sequence comprises a C-terminal SRL tripeptide, which is a variant of the type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1) Ser-Lys-Leu. PerCR is imported into peroxisomes of HeLa cells when the cells are transfected with vectors expressing the enzyme. However, PerCR does not show specific targeting when...
