Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into peroxisome matrix and protein unfolding. Predicted to be located in peroxisome. Predicted to be active in cytosol and peroxisomal membrane. 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).
WB Description
