Human Gene PEX1 (uc003uly.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1 (PEX1), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_000466): This gene encodes a member of the AAA ATPase family, a large group of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities. This protein is cytoplasmic but is often anchored to a peroxisomal membrane where it forms a heteromeric complex and plays a role in the import of proteins into peroxisomes and peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with complementation group 1 peroxisomal disorders such as neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, and Zellweger syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013].

  ID: PEX1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Peroxisome biogenesis factor 1; AltName: Full=Peroxin-1; AltName: Full=Peroxisome biogenesis disorder protein 1;
FUNCTION: Required for stability of PEX5 and protein import into the peroxisome matrix. Anchored by PEX26 to peroxisome membranes, possibly to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins into peroxisomes.
SUBUNIT: Interacts directly with PEX6. Interacts indirectly with PEX26, via its interaction with PEX6.
INTERACTION: Q13608:PEX6; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-988601, EBI-988581;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Peroxisome membrane. Note=Associated with peroxisomal membranes.
PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
DISEASE: Defects in PEX1 are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 1 (PBD-CG1) [MIM:602136]; also known as PBD-CGE. 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 PEX1 are a cause of adrenoleukodystrophy neonatal (NALD) [MIM:202370]. NALD is a peroxisome biogenesis disorder (PBD) characterized by the accumulation of very long- chain fatty acids, adrenal insufficiency and mental retardation.
DISEASE: Defects in PEX1 are a cause of infantile Refsum disease (IRD) [MIM:266510]. IRD is a mild peroxisome biogenesis disorder (PBD). Clinical features include early onset, mental retardation, minor facial dysmorphism, retinopathy, sensorineural hearing deficit, hepatomegaly, osteoporosis, failure to thrive, and hypocholesterolemia. The biochemical abnormalities include accumulation of phytanic acid, very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid and pipecolic acid.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the AAA ATPase family.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
