Pex1 - peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and protein C-terminus binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into peroxisome matrix. Predicted to act upstream of or within microtubule-based peroxisome localization. Located in peroxisome. Used to study Zellweger syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Heimler syndrome 1; infantile Refsum disease; and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 1A. Orthologous to human PEX1 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1).
