The import of proteins into the peroxisomal matrix. A peroxisome targeting signal (PTS) binds to a soluble receptor protein in the cytosol, and the resulting complex then binds to a receptor protein in the peroxisome membrane and is imported. The cargo protein is then released into the peroxisome matrix. (Gene Ontology, GO_0016558)
14 genes participating in the protein import into peroxisome matrix biological process from the curated GO Biological Process Annotations 2025 dataset.
