Abstract

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous eukaryotic organelles that form a focal point for multiple metabolic pathways. Lipid metabolism, and in particular, fatty acid transport related to it, depend heavily on peroxisomal membrane proteins that have specifically evolved for such purposes. The ATP-dependent cassette (ABC) transporters of ‘D- subfamily' reside in the peroxisomal membrane and are responsible for fatty acid import into the peroxisomes, defects in which process are related to various metabolic disorders.
