Mitochondria–peroxisome contact sites. At these contact sites, enoyl-CoA isomerase 2 (ECI2) is the only physical tethering complex identified to date. The two organelles are thought to communicate with each other also through vesicles, ROS and lipids. Indeed, peroxisomes are important for ROS clearance and β-oxidation of fatty acids.
