Structural highlights

Function

[NU120_YEAST] Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. NUP120 is involved in nuclear poly(A)+ RNA and pre-ribosome export, in GSP1 nuclear import, in NPC assembly and distribution, as well as in nuclear envelope organization.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
