The encoded protein mediates the import of specific cargo proteins from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and is dependent on the Ras-related nuclear protein-GTPase system. The encoded protein is also involved in nuclear export of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1A.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009] Expression Broad expression in testis (RPKM 29.4), brain (RPKM 19.8) and 24 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
