Like the other cell’s specialized structures, peroxisomes are surrounded by proteins and lipids that protects the rest of the cell from the activity done inside it. They are roughly spherical in shape and conduct almost the same function as other organs do, but only on a much smaller scale....
1B). Indeed, a “division and growth” name might be appropriate, but maturation and replication of pre-existing peroxisomes in plant cells is a critical concept that should be captured in the description of this new model for peroxisome biogenesis. 5. Concluding remarks and future directions ...
Genomes provide us with a blue print for the potential of a cell. However, the activity of a cell is expressed in its proteome. Full understanding of the complexity of cells demands a comprehensive view of the proteome; its interactions, activity states and organization. Comprehensive proteomic ...
32.The method of claim 27, wherein the PPAR comprises PPARα. 33.The method of claim 27, wherein the PPAR comprises PPARγ. Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (abbreviated sometimes as “PPAR” in the specifica...
In plant cells, peroxisomes carry out additional functions, including the recycling of carbon from phosphoglycolate during photorespiration. Specialized types of peroxisomes have been identified in plants, among them the glyoxysome, which functions in the conversion of fatty acids to carbohydrates. ...
