NCBI Protein Information
peroxin 6
NCBI Summary
Encodes an apparent ATPase similar to yeast and human protein required for peroxisomal biogenesis. May facilitate recycling of PEX5, the peroxisomal matrix protein receptor, and thereby promote peroxisomal matrix protein import.

UniProt Comments
Involved in peroxisomal-targeting signal one (PTS1) and peroxisomal-targeting signal two (PTS2) protein import. Required for jasmonate biosynthesis. Necessary for the developmental elimination of obsolete peroxisome matix proteins. May form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins. May be involved in PEX5 recycling.
