Peroxin-7
Peroxins are proteins involved in the formation and function of peroxisomes. Peroxin-7 (== Template:IPA ==
The Template:IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is a system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation of the term "IPA" is /aɪ piː eɪ/ in English.
Etymology
The term "IPA" is an acronym for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The International Phonetic Association, founded in 1886, created the IPA to provide a single, universal system for the transcription of spoken language.
Related Terms
- Phonetic notation: A system used to visually represent the sounds of speech. The IPA is one type of phonetic notation.
- Phonetics: The study of the physical sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phonemes), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception.
- Phonology: The study of the way sounds function within a particular language or languages. While phonetics concerns the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a particular language or languages.
- Transcription (linguistics): The systematic representation of spoken language in written form. The source of the words transcribe and transcription, the term means "to write across" in Latin, and it's the process of converting spoken language into written form. In linguistics, this is often done using the IPA.

polski), also known as PEX7, is one of these proteins.
Etymology
The term "Peroxin" is derived from the word "peroxisome", the organelle in which these proteins are found, and the suffix "-in", which is commonly used in the nomenclature of proteins. The number "7" denotes that it is the seventh peroxin identified.
Function
Peroxin-7 is a receptor protein that recognizes peroxisomal targeting signal 2 (PTS2), a sequence of amino acids that directs proteins to the peroxisome. It binds to these proteins in the cytosol and transports them to the peroxisome.

- Peroxisome: A type of organelle found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. Peroxisomes are involved in a variety of metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids and the detoxification of harmful substances.
- Receptor Protein: A protein that binds to specific molecules, triggering a response in the cell.
- Cytosol: The liquid component of a cell's cytoplasm, in which organelles, proteins, and other cell structures are suspended.
- Peroxisomal Targeting Signal: A sequence of amino acids that directs proteins to the peroxisome.
