About Pex6

Summary

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and protein C-terminus binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into peroxisome matrix, translocation and protein stabilization. Located in photoreceptor cell cilium. Is expressed in brain; embryo; liver; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Heimler syndrome 2; peroxisomal biogenesis disorder; and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 4A. Orthologous to human PEX6 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
