Abstract: All living cells consist of membrane compartments, which are mainly composed of phospholipids. Phospholipid synthesis is catalyzed by membrane-bound enzymes, which themselves require pre-existing membranes for function. Thus, the principle of membrane continuity creates a… read more here.

Abstract: Mammalian PEX16 has been considered essential for generating and maintaining peroxisomal membranes. This view is based primarily on the finding that fibroblasts from several PEX16-deficient patients are devoid of peroxisomal structures, but can form peroxisomes… read more here.
