Ipo9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable histone binding activity; histone chaperone activity; and nuclear import signal receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome localization and protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nuclear envelope. Orthologous to human IPO9 (importin 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Ipo9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
