Peroxisomal targeting signal 2 receptor

UniProtKB accession:  P39108

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Receptor required for the peroxisomal import of proteins containing a C-terminal PTS2-type peroxisomal targeting signal, such as 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase (PubMed:7957058, PubMed:7535304, PubMed:23812376). Specifically binds to cargo proteins containing a PTS2 peroxisomal targeting signal in the cytosol (PubMed:23812376). Cargo protein-binding triggers interaction with PEX21 and formation of a ternary complex composed of PEX21 and PEX7 along with PTS2-containing cargo proteins, which is tranlocated into peroxisomes by passing through the PEX13-PEX14 docking complex (PubMed:9094717, PubMed:23812376).
