Gene: NUTF2

Alternate names for this Gene: NTF-2|NTF2|PP15

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytosolic factor that facilitates protein transport into the nucleus. The encoded protein is required for nuclear import of the small Ras-like GTPase, Ran which is involved in numerous cellular processes. This protein also interacts with the nuclear pore complex glycoprotein p62.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16q22.1

Description of this Gene: nuclear transport factor 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
