Tnpo2 Gene Summary [Rat]
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 negative regulation of muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual developmental disorder with hypotonia, impaired speech, and dysmorphic facies. Orthologous to human TNPO2 (transportin 2).

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 Tnpo2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- HEAT-like repeat
- protein binding
- Importin-beta N-terminal domain
- nuclear localization sequence binding
