A novel, cleavable peroxisomal targeting signal at the amino-terminus of the rat 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase.

Several peroxisomal proteins do not contain the previously identified tripeptide peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS) at their carboxy-termini. One such protein is the peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase, of which two types exist in rat [Hijikata et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem., 265, 4600-4606]. Both rat...
