Summary
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and nuclear import signal receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within entry of viral genome into host nucleus through nuclear pore complex via importin; positive regulation of viral life cycle; and protein import into nucleus. Located in cytoplasmic stress granule. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KPNA2 (karyopherin subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
