NUP58 nucleoporin 58

Gene ID: 9818, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NUP45; NUPL1; PRO2463

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the nucleoporin family that shares 87% sequence identity with rat nucleoporin p58. The protein is localized to the nuclear rim and is a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). All molecules entering or leaving the nucleus either diffuse through or are actively transported by the NPC. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
