Peroxisomal docking factor that anchors PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes (  , ). PEX26 is therefore required for the formation of the PEX1-PEX6 AAA ATPase complex, a complex that mediates the extraction of the PEX5 receptor from peroxisomal membrane (  , ).
Subcellular locations: Peroxisome membrane
Widely expressed . Highly expressed in kidney, liver, brain and skeletal muscles . Expressed at intermediate level in pancreas, placenta and heart . Weakly expressed in lung .
