In addition, large protein families with many putative peroxisomal isoforms were recognized, including acyl-activating enzymes, GDSL lipases, and small thioesterases.
Several proteins are homologous to prokaryotic enzymes of a novel aerobic hybrid degradation pathway for aromatic compounds and proposed to be involved in peroxisomal biosynthesis of plant hormones like jasmonic acid, auxin, and salicylic acid.

The lipid-derived signaling compound jasmonic acid (JA) regulates a wide variety of developmental and defense-related processes in higher plants.
However, acyl-activating enzymes (AAEs) that catalyze this reaction in vivo have remained elusive, owing in part to the large size and functional redundancy of the AAE gene family.
