A stylized spherical organelle with a single limiting membrane encloses a pale matrix and dense core, representing a peroxisome located in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell. Within the biological hierarchy, it is an intracellular organelle within a cell, studied in cell biology, physiology, and biochemistry. It performs β-oxidation of VLCFA (very‑long‑chain fatty acids), detoxifies H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) via catalase, supports plasmalogen biosynthesis, and modulates ROS (reactive oxygen species) homeostasis.
