PEX6 - peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6 Gene
Also Known as PAF2; HMLR2; PAF-2; PBD4A; PDB4B; PXAAA1
Species: Homo sapiens
About PEX6
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 10 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in prostate (RPKM 9.4), ovary (RPKM 8.7) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
