| Popis: |
Peroxisomes are now known to be present in virtually every mammalian cell except the mature erythrocyte. They were first described by Rhodin in 1954 as “spheric or oval bodies” present in the cytoplasm of mouse proximal kidney tubules [1]. Evidence that these “microbodies” were, indeed, different from the other subcellular organelles known at that time, came from cell fractionation experiments by de Duve and co-workers (see [2] for review). The identification of catalase and several Hb2O2-producing oxidases (D-aminoacid oxidase, urate oxidase, glycollate oxidase) within this organelle prompted de Duve and co-workers to introduce the name “peroxisome”. |
