About Pex2

Summary

Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and protein destabilization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including bile acid biosynthetic process; Cholesterol homeostasis; and regulation of Cholesterol biosynthetic process. Located in peroxisomal membrane. 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]
