Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the peroxisomal requirement for beta-oxidation of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETES), we tested 5-, 12- and 15-HETE oxidation in wild-type and mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Mutant CHO cells contain peroxisomal ghosts, have random cytosolic localization of catalase and lack two of the enzymes necessary for peroxisomal beta-oxidation. Reverse-phase HPLC indicated that 33% of 12-HETE...
