Peroxisomal Targeting Signal 1 Receptor

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

**Definition:** Peroxisomal targeting signal 1 receptor (639 aa, ~71 kDa) is encoded by the human PEX5 gene. This protein plays a role in recognition of peroxisome targeting signals (PTS) and the transport of proteins into the peroxisome matrix.
