Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable peroxisome targeting sequence binding activity; protein carrier chaperone; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in protein import into peroxisome matrix. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; mitochondrial membrane organization; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; membrane; and peroxisome. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol; peroxisomal matrix; and peroxisomal membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; inner ear; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2A; peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2B; and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 5. Orthologous to human PEX5 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5).
