Peroxisomes are required for lipid metabolism and muscle function in Drosophila melanogaster.

Peroxisomes are required for lipid metabolism and muscle function in Drosophila melanogaster.

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles that perform lipid and reactive oxygen species metabolism. Defects in peroxisome biogenesis cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs). The most severe PBD, Zellweger syndrome, is characterized in part by neuronal dysfunction, craniofacial malformations, and l...
