Entrez gene ID | | 9409 |
Official gene symbol | | PEX16 |
Full name | | peroxisomal biogenesis factor 16 |
Aliases | | ,-, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is an integral peroxisomal membrane protein. An inactivating nonsense mutation localized to this gene was observed in a patient with Zellweger syndrome of the complementation group CGD/CG9. Expression of this gene product morphologically and biochemically restores the formation of new peroxisomes, suggesting a role in peroxisome organization and biogenesis. Alternative splicing has been observed for this gene and two variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq] |
