The tumour promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate increases the activities of some peroxisome-associated enzymes in in vitro cell culture.

A study was conducted on the effects of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on peroxisomal enzyme activities in mouse embryo fibroblasts C3H/10T1/2 C18 cells and chemically transformed C3H/10T1/2 MCA16 cells. TPA is a potent tumour promoter and treatment with this compound of the two cell li...
