Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Staining summary

Most of the normal tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity, often with a granular pattern. Strong staining was observed in the intestine, decidual cells and lymphoid tissues. Liver, placental trophoblasts, ovarian, and most muscle cells were negative.
