Phytanic acid and very long chain fatty acids in genetic peroxisomal disorders.

J. Clin. Chem. Clin. Biochem. 27(5) , 309-14, (1989)

1. Phytanic acid, phytanyl-triacylglycerols, and very long chain fatty acids were analysed by gas chromatography or thin-layer chromatography in blood and tissues of patients with different genetic pe...

Polyunsaturated Branched-Chain Fatty Acid Geranylgeranoic Acid Induces Unfolded Protein Response in Human Hepatoma Cells.

PLoS ONE 10 , e0132761, (2015)

The acyclic diterpenoid acid geranylgeranoic acid (GGA) has been reported to induce autophagic cell death in several human hepatoma-derived cell lines; however, the molecular mechanism for this remain...

New insights into the peroxisomal protein inventory: Acyl-CoA oxidases and -dehydrogenases are an ancient feature of peroxisomes.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1853(1) , 111-25, (2014)

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles which participate in a variety of essential biochemical pathways. An intimate interrelationship between peroxisomes and mitochondria is emerging in mammals, where...
