These organelles contain GNPAT, which catalyzes the early steps of plasmalogen synthesis.
These organelles contain GNPAT, which catalyzes the early steps of plasmalogen synthesis. Itstargeting signal is a C-terminal serine-lysine-leucine motif. One disease of these organelles results inthe inability to break down very long chain fatty acids, while another one is caused by a mutation inPex2 and is treated with Lorenzo's oil. The glyoxylate cycle occurs in a specialized type of theseorganelles called glyoxysomes. Adrenoleukodystrophy and Zellweger's syndrome are malfunctions ofthis organelle, which contains an extremely high-speed enzyme called (*) catalase. These organelles areresponsible for stopping damage from reactive oxygen species. For 10 points, name these organelles whichare responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide.
