What enzyme is in peroxisomes?

Published in Peroxisomal Enzymes 1 min read

While many enzymes reside within peroxisomes, the provided reference specifies that peroxisomes contain approximately 10% of the total activity of two key enzymes involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. These enzymes are:

  • Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
  • 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase

These enzymes are important for energy metabolism within the cell.

In summary, while peroxisomes contain a variety of enzymes, Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase are present and contribute to the pentose phosphate pathway.
