| Primary Identifier | IPR040122 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Importin_beta |
| description | This family consists of the karyopherins importin-beta and transportin. Importin subunit beta-1 forms a complex with an importin alpha subunit. The importin complex is required for nuclear protein import. Importins bind to NLSs in their protein cargos to transport them through the nuclear pore into the nucleus [].Transportin-1 and -2 also function in nuclear import []. Transportin-1 was first identified as the import factor for the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) []. |
