NCIt definition : Peroxisomal targeting signal 2 receptor (323 aa, 36 kDa) is encoded by the human
PEX7 gene. This protein plays a role in the import of peroxisome targeting signal
2 (PTS2)-containing proteins into peroxisome.;
NCIt note : Binding of peroxisome targeting signal 2 (PTS2)-containing proteins to peroxisomal
targeting signal 2 receptor (PEX7) promotes the formation of a ternary complex that
also includes peroxisomal targeting signal 1 receptor (PEX5). The complex of PEX5-PEX7-PTS2
cargo is translocated into the peroxisome. (UniProt);
