Peroxisomes: the extended shuttle to the peroxisome matrix

Curr Biol. 2001 Aug 21;11(16):R659-62. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(01)00386-4.

Abstract

A recent study indicates that protein import into the peroxisomal matrix occurs by a possibly unique mechanism involving the shuttling of cargo receptors into and out of the organelles.
