title: Peroxisome biogenesis: back to the endoplasmic reticulum?
abstract: Proteins are targeted to the membrane and matrix of peroxisomes by distinct pathways. Recent observations suggest a further route: a subset of peroxisomal membrane proteins might be targeted first to the endoplasmic reticulum, and from there to peroxisomes by vesicle-mediated transport.
