title: In vitro analysis of peroxisomal protein import.
abstract: This unit describes a quantitative in vitro assay for peroxisomal protein import that accurately reconstitutes established properties of the pathway. The cell-free system is ELISA based and employs semi-permeabilized human cells with a biotinylated peroxisomal targeting signal-containing substrate.
