Peroxisomal membrane protein PEX14, or peroxin-14, is a core component of the peroxisomal translocation machinery or importomer [, ]. PEX14 is involved in the docking of PEX5-bound protein onto the peroxisomal membrane, and it may be involved in the translocation step into the peroxisome matrix []. In addition to its role in protein docking, a role in transcriptional regulation has also been suggested for PEX14 [].
