UniProt Comments
Peroxisomal citrate synthase required for the fatty acid respiration in seedlings, citrate being exported from peroxisomes into mitochondria during respiration of triacylglycerol (TAG). Indeed, complete respiration requires the transfer of carbon in the form of citrate from the peroxisome to the mitochondria.
