Description
The nuclear import of karyophilic proteins is directed by short amino acid sequences termed nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Karyopherins, or importins, are cytoplasmic proteins that recognize NLSs and dock NLS-containing proteins to the nuclear pore complex. The protein encoded by this gene shares the sequence similarity with Xenopus importin-alpha and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Srp1. This protein is found to interact with the NLSs of DNA helicase Q1 and SV40 T antigen. This Importin alpha-4 (KPNA4) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 1-30 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Importin alpha-4 (KPNA4).
