Term Name: protein import into peroxisome matrix Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • peroxisome matrix protein import
  • protein transport to peroxisome matrix
Definition: The import of proteins into the peroxisomal matrix. A peroxisome targeting signal (PTS) binds to a soluble receptor protein in the cytosol, and the resulting complex then binds to a receptor protein in the peroxisome membrane and is imported. The cargo protein is then released into the peroxisome matrix. (3)
