Peroxisomes, multifaceted functional units within cells, fulfil the most diverse of tasks. In human beings, failure of these organelles is fatal. Their biogenesis does not adhere to the standard rules and still remains to be fully clarified. Scientists have identified a new pathway for components of the peroxisomal membrane proteins. The data gained is a significant contribution towards the comprehension of the formation and origin of peroxisomes.
