Structural highlights

Function

NU170_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. NUP170 probably plays an important role in NPC assembly and organization. In addition it is required for chromosome transmission fidelity.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
