    Summary
    Predicted to enable nuclear import signal receptor activity and nuclear localization sequence binding activity. Predicted to be involved in NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on dopamine secretion and gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein import into nucleus and response to hydrogen peroxide. Predicted to be located in male germ cell nucleus and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be part of NLS-dependent protein nuclear import complex and nuclear pore. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human KPNA4 (karyopherin subunit alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
