Proteins destined for these structures often possess a C-terminal SKL sequence.
Proteins destined for these structures often possess a C-terminal SKL sequence. Mutations in the ABCD1 gene lead to a demyelination disease involving these organelles called adrenoleukodystrophy. In humans, a reduction in their number is the cause of Zellweger syndrome. Beta oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA occurs in these structures, which also contain the enzyme catalase, which is responsible for breaking down a certain toxic material into oxygen and water. For 10 points, name these organelles that isolate and destroy hydrogen peroxide.
