Comments
  • FUNCTION: Required for protein import into peroxisomes.
  • SUBUNIT: Interacts with PEX5 and PEX10. Interacts with PEX19 via its cytoplasmic domain.
  • INTERACTION:
    P40855:PEX19; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-594836, EBI-594747;
    P50542:PEX5; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-594836, EBI-597835;
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Peroxisome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
  • DISEASE: Defects in PEX12 are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 3 (PBD-CG3) [MIM:601758]. PBD refers to a group of peroxisomal disorders arising from a failure of protein import into the peroxisomal membrane or matrix. The PBD group is comprised of four disorders: Zellweger syndrome (ZWS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). ZWS, NALD and IRD are distinct from RCDP and constitute a clinical continuum of overlapping phenotypes known as the Zellweger spectrum. The PBD group is genetically heterogeneous with at least 14 distinct genetic groups as concluded from complementation studies.
  • DISEASE: Defects in PEX12 are a cause of Zellweger syndrome (ZWS) [MIM:214100]. ZWS is a fatal peroxisome biogenesis disorder characterized by dysmorphic facial features, hepatomegaly, ocular abnormalities, renal cysts, hearing impairment, profound psychomotor retardation, severe hypotonia and neonatal seizures. Death occurs within the first year of life.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the pex2/pex10/pex12 family.
  • SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
  • WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.genetests.org/query?gene=PEX12";.
