| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. Highly expressed in kidney, liver, brain and skeletal muscles. Expressed at intermediate level in pancreas, placenta and heart. Weakly expressed in lung. |
| Function | 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. |
