Peroxisomes: the neuropathological consequences of peroxisomal dysfunction in the developing brain.
[zellweger syndrome]
Peroxisomes
are
intracellular
organelles
that
perform
vital
metabolic
functions
.
They
have
been
extensively
studied
in
the
hepatic
and
renal
systems
,
yet
their
pivotal
roles
in
facilitating
central
nervous
system
patterning
and
in
disease
pathogenesis
are
only
recently
being
firmly
established
by
the
neuroscience
community
.
Peroxisomal
functions
including
the
break-down
of
long
chain
fatty
acids
,
the
removal
of
H
2
O
2
,
and
the
biosynthesis
of
ether
lipids
.
The
build
up
of
long
chain
fatty
acids
and
H
2
O
2
is
detrimental
to
cellular
function
,
and
ether
lipids
play
roles
in
maintaining
cell
membrane
structure
.
These
findings
have
major
implications
for
treatments
for
the
full
spectrum
of
peroxisomal
disorders
.
Here
,
we
provide
a
timely
review
highlighting
the
most
important
data
in
recent
times
linking
peroxisomal
functions
to
brain
formation
,
and
we
describe
how
peroxisomal
deficiency
and
pathway
dysfunction
results
in
neurological
deficits
,
the
more
severe
of
which
result
in
life
changing
disabilities
and
death
.
