Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome-biogenesis disorders (PBDs), including Zellweger syndrome (ZS), are autosomal recessive diseases caused by a deficiency in peroxisome assembly as well as by a malfunction of peroxisomes, among which>10 genotypes have been identified. We have isolated a human PEX16 cDNA (HsPEX16) by per...
