| Function |
Import receptor for peroxisomal-targeting signal two (PTS2). A receptor-cargo complex composed of PEX5, PEX7, a PTS1- containing protein and a PTS2-containing protein is targeted to peroxisomes during import. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15548601, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15637057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17478547, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19594707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20130089}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19594707}. Peroxisome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19594707}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19594707}. Note=The loss of PEX12, PEX13 or PEX14 prevents the targeting of PEX7 to peroxisomes.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in siliques and leaves, but barely detectable in flowers, stems and roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11978862}.
