Figure 4. A simplified representation of Peroxisome. Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles. They contain enzymes such as catalase and peroxidase, which are needed to break down FAs and hydrogen peroxide. Complex lipids are broken down in peroxisomes. FAs: Fatty acids; VLCFA: very long chain fatty acid; FAO: β-fatty acid oxidation; BCFA: branched-chain fatty acid.
