Approximately 50 different biochemical reactions occur entirely or partially within a peroxisome.

The peroxisome is involved in breaking down VLCFAs to lengths that the body can use or get rid of.

The range of disease abnormalities may be a result of a corresponding range of peroxisome failure.

For example, in severe cases of ZS, the failure is nearly complete, while in IRD, there is some degree of peroxisome activity.

In peroxisomal single-enzyme disorders, the peroxisome is intact and functioning, but there is a defect in only one enzymatic process, with only one corresponding biochemical abnormality.
