Book cover Peroxisomal Disorders and Regulation of Genes

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 544))

Abstract

Several human disorders have been associated with a single peroxisomal protein deficiency. In most of these disorders, the organelle appears morphologically intact but lacks the function of a single enzyme of the peroxisomal matrix (e.g. ACOX1 resulting in pseudo-neonatal ALD; OMIM 264470) or of a membrane protein (e.g. ALDP leading to X-ALD; OMIM 300100).
