High impact information on PEX7

Expression of the PEX5 and PEX7 genes was efficiently reduced by the double-stranded RNA-mediated interference in the transgenic Arabidopsis [1].
The Arabidopsis peroxisomal targeting signal type 2 receptor PEX7 is necessary for peroxisome function and dependent on PEX5 [2].
To demonstrate the contribution of Pex5p and Pex7p to the maintenance of peroxisomal functions in plants, double-stranded RNA constructs were introduced into the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana [1].

Anatomical context of PEX7

Most peroxisomal matrix proteins bear characterized Peroxisomal Targeting Signals (PTS1 or PTS2), which are bound by the receptors PEX5 or PEX7, respectively, for import into peroxisomes [2].
