Description
Product Characteristics:
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the channels for the bi-directional movement of macromolecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm, and contain more than 100 different subunits. Many of them belong to a family called nucleoporins, which are characterized by the presence of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine moieties and a distinctive pentapeptide repeat (XFXFG). Nuclear pore complex protein Nup107 (Nucleoporin Nup107) is an essential part of the nuclear pore complex which is composed of Nup133, Nup160, Nup107 and Nup96. Nup107 is active in assembling peripheral proteins into this complex. The protein, located on both the nuclear and cytoplasmic sides of the pore, is important in RNA export.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: 107 kDa nucleoporin, NPC proteins, NU107_HUMAN, Nuclear pore complex protein Nup107, Nucleoporin 107 kDa, Nucleoporin Nup107, NUP 107, NUP 84, NUP107, NUP153, NUP155, NUP84, NUP98.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the nucleoporin family. The protein is localized to the nuclear rim and is an essential 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 of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
