Gene:
peroxisome biogenesis factor 26
Gene ID:
203415
Symbol:
PEX26
Species:
1000
Description:
Probably required for protein import into peroxisomes. Anchors PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes, possibly to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins into peroxisomes. Involved in the import of catalase and proteins containing a PTS22 target sequence, but not in import of proteins with a PTS1 target sequence.
