About KPNA5

Cytogenetic location: 6q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:116,681,211-116,741,867 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 184 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 10.4), ovary (RPKM 8.3) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The 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 and is probably 120 million daltons in molecular size. Small molecules (up to 70 kD) can pass through the nuclear pore by nonselective diffusion; larger molecules are transported by an active process. Most nuclear proteins contain short basic amino acid sequences known as nuclear localization signals (NLSs). KPNA5 protein belongs to the importin alpha protein family and is thought to be involved in NLS-dependent protein import into the nucleus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
