  2. Peroxisome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome

    A peroxisome (/ p ə ˈ r ɒ k s ɪ ˌ s oʊ m /) [1] is a membrane-bound organelle, a type of microbody, found in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Peroxisomes are oxidative organelles.

  3. Peroxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxin

    Peroxins serve several functions including the recognition of cytoplasmic proteins that contain peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS) that tag them for transport by peroxisomal proteins to the peroxisome.

  4. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome_proliferator...

    PPARs were originally identified in Xenopus frogs as receptors that induce the proliferation of peroxisomes in cells in 1992. [7] The first PPAR (PPARα) was discovered in 1990 during the search for a molecular target of a group of agents then referred to as peroxisome proliferators , as they increased peroxisomal numbers in rodent liver tissue ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pparg_coactivator_1_alpha

    Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PPARGC1A gene. [4] PPARGC1A is also known as human accelerated region 20 . It may, therefore, have played a key role in differentiating humans from apes. [5] PGC-1α is the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis.

  6. Microbody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbody

    Microbody structure - a peroxisome. Microbodies are different type of bodies present in the cytosol, also known as cytosomes. A microbody is usually a vesicle with a spherical shape, ranging from 0.2-1.5 micrometers in diameter. [1] Microbodies are found in the cytoplasm of a cell, but they are only visible with the use of an electron microscope.

  7. Subcellular localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcellular_localization

    The cells of eukaryotic organisms are elaborately subdivided into functionally-distinct membrane-bound compartments. Some major constituents of eukaryotic cells are: extracellular space, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), peroxisome, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, nuclear matrix and ribosomes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome_proliferator...

    Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ or PPARG), also known as the glitazone reverse insulin resistance receptor, or NR1C3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group C, member 3) is a type II nuclear receptor functioning as a transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the PPARG gene.
