About KPNA4

Cytogenetic location: 3q25.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:160,495,007-160,565,571 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 11.7), esophagus (RPKM 9.8) and 25 other tissues.

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, Jul 2008]
