UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q13608 (Q13608)
Gene Name:
PEX6
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Component of the PEX1-PEX6 AAA ATPase complex, a protein dislocase complex that mediates the ATP-dependent extraction of the PEX5 receptor from peroxisomal membranes, an essential step for PEX5 recycling (PubMed:16314507, PubMed:16854980, PubMed:21362118, PubMed:29884772). Specifically recognizes PEX5 monoubiquitinated at 'Cys-11', and pulls it out of the peroxisome lumen through the PEX2-PEX10-PEX12 retrotranslocation channel (PubMed:29884772). Extraction by the PEX1-PEX6 AAA ATPase complex is accompanied by unfolding of the TPR repeats and release of bound cargo from PEX5 (PubMed:29884772)
