Every system has its waste disposal system. The cell organelles known as “peroxisomes” dispose of toxic substances and fats in the human body, among other things, and, in doing so, they prevent serious illnesses. The “Pex” group of proteins (peroxisomes biogenesis factors) keep these “detox units” functioning properly.
