Gene information for PEX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5189
Official gene symbolPEX1
Full nameperoxisomal biogenesis factor 1
Aliases,ZWS,ZWS1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the AAA ATPase family, a large group of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities. This protein is cytoplasmic but is often anchored to a peroxisomal membrane where it forms a heteromeric complex and plays a role in the import of proteins into peroxisomes and peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with complementation group 1 peroxisomal disorders such as neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, and Zellweger syndrome.
