Abstract excerpt
Human Pex16p, a peroxisomal membrane protein composed of 336 amino acids, plays a central role in peroxisomal membrane biogenesis. A nonsense mutation (R176ter) in the PEX16 gene has been reported in the case of only one patient (D-01) belonging to complementation group D of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders. We have now identified two patients belonging to group D (D-02 and D-03) whose fibroblasts were found...
