Gene information for KPNA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3840
Official gene symbolKPNA4
Full namekaryopherin alpha 4 (importin alpha 3)
Aliases,IPOA3,MGC12217,MGC26703,QIP1,SRP3,
Gene summaryThe nuclear import of karyophilic proteins is directed by short amino acid sequences termed nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Karyopherins, or importins, are cytoplasmic proteins that recognize NLSs and dock NLS-containing proteins to the nuclear pore complex. The protein encoded by this gene shares the sequence similarity with Xenopus importin-alpha and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Srp1. This protein is found to interact with the NLSs of DNA helicase Q1 and SV40 T antigen. [provided by RefSeq]
