NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein for the translation initiation factor eIF4E. This shuttle protein interacts with the importin alpha-beta complex to mediate nuclear import of eIF4E. It is predominantly cytoplasmic; its own nuclear import is regulated by a nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signals. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]
Uniprot Description
Function: Nucleoplasmic shuttling protein. Mediates the nuclear import of EIF4E by a piggy-back mechanism.
Subunit structure: Interacts with EIF4E. Interacts with importin beta only in the presence of importin alpha, suggesting a direct interaction with importin alpha. Interacts with APOBEC3G in an RNA-dependent manner. Ref.7
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleus › PML body. Nucleus speckle. Note: Predominantly cytoplasmic. Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner. Localization to nuclear foci and speckles requires active transcription. Ref.16
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed.
Sequence caution: The sequence BAB15092.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. The sequence BAC11194.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
