NCBI Protein Information
peroxin 7
NCBI Summary
Encodes the peroxisomal targeting signal type 2 receptor that facilitates peroxisomal protein translocation. It recognizes proteins with the PTS2 consensus sequence (RLX5HL or a variant) within the first 30 or so amino acids. RNAi experiments suggest that PEX7 is necessary for the maintenance of glyoxysomal but not leaf peroxisomal function.

UniProt Comments
Import receptor for peroxisomal-targeting signal two (PTS2). A receptor-cargo complex composed of PEX5, PEX7, a PTS1-containing protein and a PTS2-containing protein is targeted to peroxisomes during import.
