Gene information for KPNA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 3840 |
| Official gene symbol | KPNA4 |
| Full name | karyopherin alpha 4 (importin alpha 3) |
| Aliases | ,IPOA3,MGC12217,MGC26703,QIP1,SRP3, |
| Gene summary | The 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] |
