Description
Product Characteristics:
Component of the Nup107-160 subcomplex of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The Nup107-160 subcomplex is required for the assembly of a functional NPC. The Nup107-160 subcomplex is also required for normal kinetochore microtubule attachment, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. This subunit plays a role in recruitment of the Nup107-160 subcomplex to the kinetochore.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: Nucleoporin SEH1, Nup107-160 subcomplex subunit SEH1, SEC13-like protein, SEC13L, Seh 1, SEH1-like (S. cerevisiae), SEH1_HUMAN, SEH1A, SEH1B, SEH1L
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is part of a nuclear pore complex, Nup107-160. This protein contains WD repeats and shares 34% amino acid identity with yeast Seh1 and 30% identity with yeast Sec13. All constituents of the Nup107-160 complex, including this protein, specifically localize to kinetochores in mitosis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
