Several colorectal, breast, stomach and pancreatic cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PEX1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ZWS, ZWS1
Description
Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the AAA ATPase family, a large group of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities. This protein is cytoplasmic but is often anchored to a peroxisomal membrane where it forms a heteromeric complex and plays a role in the import of proteins into peroxisomes and peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with complementation group 1 peroxisomal disorders such as neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, and Zellweger syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
