protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable protein transmembrane transporter activity; ubiquitin protein ligase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in protein import into peroxisome matrix. Located in peroxisome. Used to study peroxisomal disease and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 5A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 5B and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 5A. Orthologous to human PEX2 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 2).
FB Description
Peroxin 2 (Pex2) encodes a peroxisome protein important for sperm development.
