Description
Perixisomes have attracted great interest in recent years since it was recognized that impairments in one or more peroxisomal functions are associated with severe disease. This book aims to describe the current state of knowledge about peroxisomes concentrating on the functions and biogenesis of peroxisomes with special emphasis on the various peroxisomal disorders. Accordingly, this book contains chapters on the functions of peroxisomes (fatty acid oxidation, ether-phospholipid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis), the biogenesis of peroxisomes and chapters dealing with the (dys)functions and morphology of peroxisomes in the various peroxisomal disorders.
