These structures catalyze the first step in the production of plasmalogen, and Refsum's disease results from a defect in one protein that localizes to them.  
These structures catalyze the first step in the production of plasmalogen, and Refsum's disease results from a defect in one protein that localizes to them.  An error in targeting proteins to these organelles results in Zellweger's syndrome, and adrenoleukodystrophy results from the inability to transport fatty acids here.  They are key to the synthesis of the myelin sheath of neurons and the production of bile acids in the liver, and also contain uric acid oxidase and D-amino acid oxidase. However, they are best known for ridding the cell of reactive oxygen species via enzymes like catalase.  FTP, name these cellular organelles that break down hydrogen peroxide and are structurally similar to lysosomes.
