| Function |
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 PTS2 target sequence, but not in import of proteins with a PTS1 target sequence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12717447, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12851857}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Peroxisome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12717447}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12717447}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. Highly expressed in kidney, liver, brain and skeletal muscles. Expressed at intermediate level in pancreas, placenta and heart. Weakly expressed in lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12851857}.
