Peroxisome Biogenesis Factor 2

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Peroxisome biogenesis factor 2 (305 aa, ~35 kDa) is encoded by the human PEX2 gene. This protein plays a role in both monoubiquitination of peroxisomal targeting signal 1 receptor (PEX5) and export of PEX5 from the proteosome to the cytoplasm.
