Gene information for KPNA3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3839
Official gene symbolKPNA3
Full namekaryopherin alpha 3 (importin alpha 4)
Aliases,IPOA4,SRP1,SRP1gamma,SRP4,hSRP1,
Gene summaryThe transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells is mediated by the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which consists of 60-100 proteins. Small molecules (up to 70 kD) can pass through the nuclear pore by nonselective diffusion while larger molecules are transported by an active process. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the importin alpha family, and is involved in nuclear protein import. [provided by RefSeq]
