IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 3.6.4.7

Accepted name: peroxisome-assembly ATPase

Reaction: ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate

Other name(s): peroxisome assembly factor-2

Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (peroxisome-assembling)

Comments: An extremely diversified group of enzymes that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to import and assemble peroxisome components into the organelle. Their molecular masses range from 25 to 600 kDa.
