Two proteins associated with this structure assist in the transport of glucosinolate into plant cells as an antifungal defense, and one analogue of this structure seals septal pores in several filamentous ascomycetes and is called the Woronin body. In plants, the components of the ascorbate- glutathione cycle are produced in this structure, and one defect in it leads to a disorder characterized by high levels of pipecolic acid, which is related to another disease of this structure results from the alpha-oxidation of phytanic acid. Both Refsum disease and adrenoleukodystrophy fall in the Zellweger spectrum of diseases affecting this organelle, which as a result compromises the myelin sheath. This organelle produces the manganese form of superoxide dismutase and uric acid oxidase, but is best known for producing catalase. For 10 points, name this organelle that produces enzymes that break down peroxides.
