Gene: PEX14
Alternate names for this Gene: NAPP2|PBD13A|Pex14p|dJ734G22.2
Gene Summary: This 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p36.22
Description of this Gene: peroxisomal biogenesis factor 14
Type of Gene: protein-coding
