Abstract excerpt
Karyopherin α1 (KPNA1)/(human importin α5; mouse importin α1) facilitates cargo transport into the nucleus by forming a complex with a nuclear localization sequence containing cargo and importin β1 (IPOB1). The elevated KPNA1 expression in neurons and the correlation between mutations and psychiatric disorders suggest its broader significance beyond nucleocytoplasmic transport. Although KPNA1 is localized in the...
