Epoxide hydrolase activity in isolated peroxisomes of mouse liver.
Using trans-stilbene oxide as substrate, the subcellular distribution of epoxide hydrolase was investigated in livers from DBA/2 mice. The highest specific activities were found in cytosolic and light mitochondrial fractions. Isopycnic subfractionation of the light mitochondrial fraction showed that the organelle-bound trans-stilbene oxide hydrolase is localized in peroxisomes.
