| Type: | Domain | Name: | Peroxisome membrane anchor protein Pex14p, N-terminal |
| Description: | This conserved region defines a group of peroxisomal membrane anchor proteins which bind the PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal) receptor and are required for the import of PTS1-containing proteins into peroxisomes. Loss of functional Pex14p results in defects in both the PTS1 and PTS2-dependent import pathways. Deletion analysis of this conserved region implicates it in selective peroxisome degradation. In the majority of members this region is situated at the N terminus of the protein [, ]. | Short Name: | Pex14_N |
