Summary
Predicted to enable nuclear import signal receptor activity; nuclear localization sequence binding activity; and protein C-terminus binding activity. Predicted to be involved in NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human KPNA3 (karyopherin subunit alpha 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

  2. The results suggest that an increase in the expression of PPARalpha/beta/gamma and RXRalpha as well as a decrease in AP-1 and importin-alpha3 expression/activity participates in the protective effect of 5,14-HEDGE against hypotension, tachycardia, and inflammation during endotoxemia and thus have a beneficial effect in septic shock treatment

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.
