About Kpna2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including histone deacetylase binding activity; nuclear import signal receptor activity; and nuclear localization sequence binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription by glucose. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic stress granule and cytosol. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be extrinsic component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Orthologous to human KPNA2 (karyopherin subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
