Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n Over the past decade, scientists have made a series of dramatic research findings emphasizing the vital role of the peroxisome, a small organelle containing oxidizing enzymes and catalase and commonly found in animal and plant tissue. These findings include major advances in our understanding of its metabolic roles, genetics and biochemistry, and of the broad involvements of peroxisomal diseases. This book provides a basic introduction to the peroxisome and its relationship to other components of eukaryotic cells, followed by detailed and comprehensive discussions of these recent advances. The authors review current understanding of the morphology, phylogeny, enzymology and ontogeny of the peroxisome, and conclude with a chapter on peroxisomes and human disease. The authors are well respected researchers in this field and have produced an authoritative and readable text that will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in biochemistry, cell biology and medical science.  \n        From the Back Cover   Over the last decade, a series of dramatic research findings have served to emphasize the vital role of the peroxisome. These findings have included major advances in our understanding of its metabolic roles, the genetic specification of peroxisomal components, the complex processes of protein targeting and peroxisomal biogenesis, and the broad involvements of peroxisomal diseases. This book, by its format, provides both a basic introduction to the peroxisome and its relationship to other components of eukaryotic cells, and a detailed and comprehensive discussion of recent advances. In addition to the topics referred to above, current understanding of the morphology, phylogeny, enzymology and ontogeny of the peroxisome are also reviewed, as are its extraordinary proliferation induced by a variety of drugs and xenobiotics, and its role in hepatocarcinogenesis. The authors are well respected researchers in this field and have produced an authoritative and readable text, with numerous illustrations and chapter summaries, which will appeal to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in biochemistry, cell biology and biomedical sciences.
