The protein encoded by this gene is an integral peroxisomal membrane protein. An inactivating nonsense mutation localized to this gene was observed in a patient with Zellweger syndrome of the complementation group CGD/CG9. Expression of this gene product morphologically and biochemically restores the formation of new peroxisomes, suggesting a role in peroxisome organization and biogenesis. Alternative splicing has been observed for this gene and two variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in humans investigated gene expression in peripheral blood after gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) intake, evaluating several candidate genes including PEX16 [Mehling et al. DOI:10.1007/S00414-017-1609-3].
