Primary Identifier | MGI:1100863 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 16648 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nuclear import signal receptor activity and nuclear localization sequence binding activity. Predicted to be involved in NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of NLS-dependent protein nuclear import complex. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 88. Orthologous to human KPNA3 (karyopherin subunit alpha 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation are viable and fertile. Homozygous knockout leads to increased susceptibility to influenza A virus-induced morbidity and mortality.
