Protein function (UniProt)

Peroxisome assembly protein 26

Peroxisomal docking factor that anchors PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes (PubMed:12717447, PubMed:12851857, PubMed:16257970, PubMed:16763195, PubMed:16854980, PubMed:21362118). PEX26 is therefore required for the formation of the PEX1-PEX6 AAA ATPase complex, a complex that mediates the extraction of the PEX5 receptor from peroxisomal membrane (PubMed:12717447, PubMed:12851857, PubMed:16257970, PubMed:16763195, PubMed:16854980, PubMed:21362118)
