Localization of the 70-kDa peroxisomal membrane protein to human 1p21-p22 and mouse 3.
Department of Pediatrics, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205.
The 70-kDa peroxisomal membrane protein (PXMP1) is a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family. In humans, mutations in this gene may be responsible for a subset of patients with Zellweger syndrome, a lethal inborn error of peroxisome assembly. The PXMP1 gene was assigned to human chromosome 1p21-p22 by in situ hybridization and its murine homologue (Pxmp-1) to chromosome 3 by interspecific backcross analysis.
