peroxisomen.

1965 C. de Duve in Jrnl. Cell Biol. 27 25 a The name peroxisome is proposed for the microbodies of rat liver and for the particles of similar biochemical nature existing in kidney and in Tetrahymena pyriformis. The peroxisomes contain large amounts of catalase and several hydrogen peroxide-producing oxidases.

1992 C. A. Smith & E. J. Wood Biosynthesis ii. 39 The glycollate is then transported to peroxisomes where the action of glycollate oxidase produces glyoxylate.

1999 New Phytologist 141 243/1 Mitochondria and peroxisomes were obtained from pea leaves by differential and density-gradient centrifugation.

1967 Biochim. et Biophys. Acta 135 577 All of the preparations showed appreciable though variable contamination with nuclear (DNA) peroxisomal (uricase) and endoplasmic reticulum (glucose-6-phosphatase and RNA) material.

1969 Jrnl. Protozool. 16 430/2 The 6 acid hydrolases studied have almost identical distribution patterns, differing clearly from those of the mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, peroxisomal catalase and urate oxidase.

1972 McGraw-Hill Yearbk. Sci. & Technol. 321/1 Although peroxisomal respiration will be considered primarily, the entire process of photorespiration involves the mitochondrion.

1993 UCSD Perspectives 6 9/2 Two other peroxisomal enzymes..help build molecules called alkyl ether phospholipids that scavenge the cell for harmful chemicals.
