Abstract
The peroxisomal enzyme acyl-CoA oxidase is localized in the 'dense-tubular-system-enriched fraction', probably identical with the endoplasmic reticulum, in human blood platelets. This localization is strongly different from the localization of catalase which seems to be a cytosolic enzyme, in agreement with Marcus, Zucker-Franklin, Safir & Ullman [(1966) J. Clin. Invest. 45, 14-28]. A localization of acyl-CoA oxidase in the endoplasmic reticulum seems to be in good accordance with the important role of peroxisomes in the metabolism of prostaglandins, as recently demonstrated by Diczfalusy, Kase, Alexson & Bjørkhem [(1991) J. Clin. Invest. 88, 978-984].Entities:
