Phytanic acid buildup is implicated in Refsum's disease, and this organelle is also involved in Zellweger's syndrome.
Type 1 rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata is associated with this organelle. Phytanic acid buildup is implicated in Refsum's disease, and this organelle is also involved in Zellweger's syndrome. Plasmalogen is generated here, making this organelle necessary for myelination and like the mitochondria, it can perform beta oxidation of fatty acids. Also notably containg catalase, for 10 points, name this organelle similar to the lysosome, involved in disposing of namesake toxic substances
