UniProt code: P39108.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Binds to the N-terminal PTS2-type peroxisomal targeting signal and plays an essential role in peroxisomal protein import essential for import of 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase (a PTS2-containing protein) into peroxisomes. May direct thiolase to peroxisomes by shuttling between the cytosol and peroxisomal membranes.
