PEX13, Official Symbol PEX13provided by HGNC Official Full Name peroxisomal biogenesis factor 13provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:8855 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000162928 MIM:601789; AllianceGenome:HGNC:8855 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as ZWS; NALD; PBD11A; PBD11B Summary This gene encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein that binds the type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal receptor via a SH3 domain located in the cytoplasm. Mutations and deficiencies in peroxisomal protein importing and peroxisome assembly lead to peroxisomal biogenesis disorders, an example of which is Zellweger syndrome.
