PEX11A
Description
The PEX11A (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 11 alpha) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
Peroxisomal membrane protein 11A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PEX11A gene.
PEX11A may play a role in peroxisome proliferation and division. It may also mediate the binding of coatomer proteins to the peroxisomal membrane. Additionally, it promotes membrane protrusion and elongation on the peroxisomal surface.
PEX11A is also known as PEX11-ALPHA, PEX11alpha, PMP28, hsPEX11p.
