Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and ubiquitin-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into peroxisome matrix, receptor recycling; protein targeting to peroxisome; and protein unfolding. Predicted to act upstream of or within microtubule-based peroxisome localization. Located in peroxisome. Used to study Zellweger syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Heimler syndrome 1; peroxisome biogenesis disorder 1A; and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 1B. Orthologous to human PEX1 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1).
