About Pex26

Summary

This gene is a member of the peroxin-26 family. The encoded protein is probably required for protein import into peroxisomes. It may anchor Pex1 and Pex6 to peroxisome membranes. Defects in a similar gene in human are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 8 (PBD-CG8). PBD refers to a group of four disorders: Zellweger syndrome (ZWS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
