    basic FUNCTION
  • peroxisomal PTS2 receptor (peroxisome targeting signal 2), but unable to restore PTS2 protein import into peroxisomes in DP fibroblasts
  • involved in peroxisomal import of proteins containing an N-terminal peroxisome-targeting signal (PTS2)
  • cytosolic receptor that imports peroxisomal targeting signal type 2 (PTS2)-containing proteins
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell organization/biogenesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport

    protein
  • PEX5
  • cytosolic receptor for peroxisome targeting signal 2 of peroxisomal matrix enzymes that are targeted to and translocated into the peroxisome
  • interaction strength between cargo and PEX7 is drastically increased in the presence of the co-receptor PEX5L
