'''Peroxins''' (or '''peroxisomal/peroxisome biogenesis factors''') represent several protein families found in [peroxisome](/source/peroxisome)s.<ref name="pmid10084148">{{cite journal | vauthors = Crookes WJ, Olsen LJ | title = Peroxin puzzles and folded freight: peroxisomal protein import in review | journal = Die Naturwissenschaften | volume = 86 | issue = 2 | pages = 51–61 | date = February 1999 | pmid = 10084148 | doi = 10.1007/s001140050572  | bibcode = 1999NW.....86...51C | hdl = 2027.42/41882 | s2cid = 22119827 | hdl-access = free }}</ref> Deficiencies are associated with several [peroxisomal disorder](/source/peroxisomal_disorder)s. Peroxins serve several functions including the recognition of cytoplasmic proteins that contain [peroxisomal targeting signal](/source/peroxisomal_targeting_signal)s (PTS) that tag them for transport by peroxisomal proteins to the peroxisome. Peroxins are structurally diverse and have been classified to different [protein families](/source/protein_families). Some of them were predicted to be [single-pass transmembrane proteins](/source/single-pass_transmembrane_proteins), for example [Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 11](/source/Peroxisomal_biogenesis_factor_11).
