| Function | Component of the peroxisomal protein import machinery. Together with PEX1, mediates the ATP-dependent relocation and recycling of the peroxisomal targeting signal-1 (PTS1) import receptor PEX5 from the peroxisomal membrane to the cytosol, where it is then available for another round of protein import into the organelle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15634331, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16007078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16911527}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. Peroxisome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the peroxisomal membrane. |
