Ipo4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable nuclear import signal receptor activity and nuclear localization sequence binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into nucleus. Predicted to act upstream of or within ribosome biogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human IPO4 (importin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ipo4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
