Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD) are lethal hereditary diseases caused by abnormalities in the biogenesis of peroxisomes. At present, 12 different complementation groups have been identified and to date, all genes responsible for each of these complementation groups have been identified. The peroxisomal membrane protein PEX14 is a key component of the peroxisomal import machinery and may be the initial...
