Pex7 - peroxisomal biogenesis factor 7

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; peroxisome matrix targeting signal-2 binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in ether lipid biosynthetic process and protein import into peroxisome matrix. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including endochondral ossification; fatty acid beta-oxidation; and protein targeting to peroxisome. Predicted to be located in peroxisome. Predicted to be active in cytosol and peroxisomal matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisomal biogenesis disorder and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1. Orthologous to human PEX7 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
