Summary: Predicted to enable peroxisome membrane targeting sequence binding activity. Involved in peroxisome organization. Located in cytosol and peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic cortex; germ band; posterior midgut primordium; and yolk. Used to study Zellweger syndrome and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 12A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisome biogenesis disorder 12A. Orthologous to human PEX19 (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 19). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
