Molecular basis of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders caused by defects in peroxisomal matrix protein import.

Abstract excerpt

Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs) represent a spectrum of autosomal recessive metabolic disorders that are collectively characterized by abnormal peroxisome assembly and impaired peroxisomal function. The importance of this ubiquitous organelle for human health is highlighted by the fact that PBDs are multisystemic disorders that often cause death in early infancy. Peroxisomes contribute to central...
