Protein
Peroxisomal membrane protein 13
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in PTS1- and PTS2-dependent protein import into peroxisomes (PubMed:16813573, PubMed:17478547). Required for PTS1-dependent protein import into pollen peroxisomes (PubMed:18160292). Acts as a docking factor on peroxisomal membranes (PubMed:16813573). Required for the proper targeting of PEX7 to the peroxisome (PubMed:19594707). Required for the export/release of receptors on the peroxisome membrane (PubMed:19594707). Essential for pollen-tube discharge that take place only in the presence of functional peroxisomes in either the male or the female gametophyte (PubMed:18160292).
Similarity
Belongs to the peroxin-13 family.
