[Hereditary peroxisomal diseases].

Abstract excerpt

Peroxisomes are small intracellular organelles that catalyse key metabolic reactions such as the beta-oxidation of some straight-chain or branched-chain fatty acids and the alpha-oxidation of phytanic acid. These enzyme reactions produce hydrogen peroxide, which is subsequently neutralized by the peroxisomal catalase. Peroxisomes also metabolize glyoxylate to glycine, and catalyze the first steps of plasmalogen...
