Import receptor for peroxisomal-targeting signal two (PTS2). A receptor-cargo complex composed of PEX5, PEX7, a PTS1-containing protein and a PTS2-containing protein is targeted to peroxisomes during import. Interacts (via C-terminus) with PEX5 (via N-terminus), PEX13 (via N-terminus) and PEX12 (via C-terminus), but not with PEX14. Interacts with PTS2-containing proteins. The loss of PEX12, PEX13 or PEX14 prevents the targeting of PEX7 to peroxisomes. Expressed in siliques and leaves, but barely detectable in flowers, stems and roots. Expressed at the early stage of germination. The WD40 repeats are involved in the binding of PTS2-containing proteins. No visible phenotype, but reduced sensitivity to indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and inefficient peroxisomal import of PTS2-containing proteins. The binding of a cargo to PEX7 is necessary but not sufficient for the targeting of the complex to the peroxisome. PEX12, PEX13 and PEX14 play a critical role in this targeting. PEX7 is required for PEX5 stability in light-grown seedlings. Belongs to the WD repeat peroxin-7 family.
