PEX16

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is an integral peroxisomal membrane protein. An inactivating nonsense mutation localized to this gene was observed in a patient with Zellweger syndrome of the complementation group CGD/CG9. Expression of this gene product morphologically and biochemically restores the formation of new peroxisomes, suggesting a role in peroxisome organization and biogenesis. Alternative splicing has been observed for this gene and two variants have been described.[6]

Interactions

PEX16 has been shown to interact with PEX19.[7]

gollark: We can assume that the AI runs faster than humans because people will only run training for a few months at most before they get bored and stop.
gollark: Legal action was maybe also bad.
gollark: I do think the DALL-E Mini name was kind of bad.
gollark: I could automatically do business with an associate though. Probably not fast enough to trademark that much, but it should be possible to do short word sequences.
gollark: Can anyone stop me from trademarking all possible byte sequences (up to some length) preemptively?
