Gene: PEX11A

Alternate names for this Gene: PEX11-ALPHA|PMP28|hsPEX11p

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the PEX11 family, which is composed of membrane elongation factors involved in regulation of peroxisome maintenance and proliferation. This gene product interacts with peroxisomal membrane protein 19 and may respond to outside stimuli to increase peroxisome abundance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q26.1

Description of this Gene: peroxisomal biogenesis factor 11 alpha

Type of Gene: protein-coding
