| UniProt functional annotation for P39108 | |||
| 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. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with PEX5. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. Peroxisome. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 589 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the WD repeat peroxin-7 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
