Article Description

Immunoblot analyses with antibodies against the peroxisomal β-oxidation enzymes from rat liver showed the presence of these enzymes in rat and human liver and kidney and rat adrenal gland. The bifunctional protein could not be detected in muscle tissues or cultured muscle cells. Acyl-CoA oxidase was detected in rat heart and cultured human muscle cells. 3-Ketoacyl-CoA thiolase was also detected in human and rat heart and skeletal muscle; however, this enzyme was not detectable in skeletal muscle of Zellweger patients, in agreement with the absence of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation.
