PEX3 Involved in peroxisome biosynthesis and integrity. Assembles membrane vesicles before the matrix proteins are translocated. As a docking factor for PEX19, is necessary for the import of peroxisomal membrane proteins in the peroxisomes. Belongs to the peroxin-3 family. Found in all examined tissues. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
