Tóm tắt
Peroxisomes are present in most eukaryotic cell types, and have different enzymatic content and metabolic functions throughout the life scale. The endosymbiotic origin of these DNA‐devoid organelles is supported by evolutionary data concerning genes encoding not only most peroxisomal proteins, but also several transcriptional factors regulating their expression such as peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors.
