title: [The peroxisome: structure, function and biogenesis].
abstract: The peroxisome is the most recently identified subcellular organelle. Understanding of its function, particularly in various aspects of lipid metabolism and its biogenesis, has increased rapidly during the last decade. At least 15 peroxisomal disorders have been identified, and 12 of these involve the nervous system severely.
