Pex13 - peroxisomal biogenesis factor 13

Predicted to enable peroxisome targeting sequence binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid alpha-oxidation; microtubule-based peroxisome localization; and nervous system development. Located in peroxisomal membrane. Is expressed in brain and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisomal biogenesis disorder and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 11A. Orthologous to human PEX13 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 13). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
