Gene: [07q2/PEX1] peroxisome biogenesis factor 1; peroxin-1; Refsum disease, infantile form (neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy); Zellweger syndrome; [IRD NALD ZS ]

COM	The PEX1 gene encodes a 147-kD member of the AAA protein family (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities). By computer-based 'homology probing' using the yeast sequence to screen a database of expressed sequence tags (dbEST) for human cDNA clones, found a contig sequence localized to 7q21-q22 that exactly matched their cDNA (Portsteffen-1997)."
FUN	The expression of human PEX1 restored peroxisomal protein import in fibroblasts from 30 patients with peroxisomal biogenesis disorders of complementation group 1 (Reuber-1997)."
