Peroxisomal membrane protein 2 (PXMP2) homotrimer is inferred from the properties of its mouse homolog to form a channel in the peroxisomal membrane that allows the passage of glycolate and other molecules with molecular masses less than 200 Da between the cytosol and the peroxisomal matrix (Rokka et al. 2009; Wanders et al. 2016).
