About Pex2

Summary

Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bile acid biosynthetic process; Cholesterol homeostasis; and regulation of Cholesterol biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in peroxisomal membrane. Predicted to be integral component of peroxisomal membrane. Predicted to be part of Cdc73/Paf1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisomal biogenesis disorder and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 5A. Orthologous to human PEX2 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
