Recombinant Human Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 26

Source : Escherichia Coli. PEX26 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 269 amino acids (1-246) and having a molecular mass of 29.3kDa. PEX26 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 26 (PEX26) which is a part of the peroxin-26 gene family is probably required for protein import into peroxisomes. PEX26 attaches PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes needed for the import of proteins into peroxisomes. Deficiencies in this gene are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 8. PBD is a group of peroxisomal disorders evolving from a failure of protein import into the peroxisomal membrane or matrix.
