Evolutionary aspects of peroxisomes as cell organelles, and of genes encoding peroxisomal proteins.

abstract：:Isolated cells from the proximal tubule have previously been used to study specific renal physiological processes. Here we analysed the structural changes induced by mechanical isolation on rat proximal tubule cells. As major modifications we detected: 1) a redistribution of brush border microvilli, which spread out o...
