Nucleoporin 153
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nucleoporin 153 (Nup153) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NUP153 gene. It is an essential component of the basket of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in vertebrates, and is required for the anchoring of NPCs. It also acts as the docking site of an importing karyopherin.[5] On the cytoplasmic side of the NPC, Nup358 fulfills an analogous role.
