Peroxisomicine A1, a potential antineoplastic agent, causes micropexophagy in addition to macropexophagy.

In conclusion, here we report that, in addition to macropexophagy, peroxisomes damaged by PA1 can be eliminated by micropexophagy. This information is useful to deepen in the knowledge of the mechanism of action of PA1 and in that of pexophagy per se. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
