Proteins targeted to this structure have a serine-lysine-leucine sequence on their C-terminus, and they are absent in rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. One disease caused by problems in this structure occurs after an accumulation of phytanic acid in myelin sheaths. Another biogenesis disorder caused by problems with this structure comes from defects in the gene PEX5 and results in the build up of very-long-chain fatty acids. Those disorders are Refsum's disease and Zellweger syndrome. For 10 points, name this organelle that uses catalase to convert hydrogen peroxide into water.
