prx-3 is orthologous to the human gene PEROXISOMAL BIOGENESIS FACTOR 3 (PEX3; OMIM:603164), which when mutated leads to Zellweger syndrome of complementation group G.
Predicted to enable protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into peroxisome membrane. Predicted to be located in peroxisomal membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisome biogenesis disorder 10A. Is an ortholog of human PEX3 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
