Peroxisomes produce hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) by using oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction.
Peroxisomes are found in the eukaryotic cells and are single celled organelles. Being small sized vesicles, they play an important role in digestion and metabolism.
These organelles contain oxidative enzymes that are used in oxidation reactions, metabolism, signaling and detoxification.
In peroxisome, oxidation reaction takes place through fatty acid β-oxidation pathway and contributes to seedling growth, embryogenesis, and stomata opening.
Most peroxisomes are found in the liver where they play key role in the digestion of alcohol.
