Caenorhabditis elegans Enables peroxisome targeting sequence binding activity. Involved in nematode larval development and protein import into peroxisome matrix. Predicted to be located in cytosol and peroxisomal membrane. Expressed in neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2A; peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2B; and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 5. Is an ortholog of human PEX5 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5).
