Defects in DHAP acyltransferase and alkyl DHAP synthase result in faulty plasmalogen synthesis, which causes impaired biogenesis of this organelle in patients suffering from rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata.
Defects in DHAP acyltransferase and alkyl DHAP synthase result in faulty plasmalogen synthesis, which causes impaired biogenesis of this organelle in patients suffering from rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. Mutations in phytanic acid metabolism in this structure are the primary cause of Refsum's disease, while the congenital deficiency of its characteristic enzyme occurs in patients with Takahara's disease. They contain an enzyme that requires a haematin prosthetic group to reduce the product of superoxide dismutase, called catalase. For 10 points, name these organelles which decompose a toxic namesake hydrogen compound.
