(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5195
Official gene symbolPEX14
Full nameperoxisomal biogenesis factor 14
Aliases,MGC12767,NAPP2,Pex14p,dJ734G22.2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an essential component of the peroxisomal import machinery. The protein is integrated into peroxisome membranes with its C-terminus exposed to the cytosol, and interacts with the cytosolic receptor for proteins containing a PTS1 peroxisomal targeting signal. The protein also functions as a transcriptional corepressor and interacts with a histone deacetylase. A mutation in this gene results in one form of Zellweger syndrome. [provided by RefSeq]
