Nup54 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables identical protein binding activity. A structural constituent of nuclear pore. Involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport; protein targeting; and regulation of protein import into nucleus. Located in nuclear envelope. Part of nuclear pore. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia 37, early-onset with striatal lesions. Orthologous to human NUP54 (nucleoporin 54).

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 rat Nup54 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
