Ipo7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable SMAD binding activity and histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; positive regulation of odontoblast differentiation; and protein import into nucleus. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nuclear envelope. Orthologous to human IPO7 (importin 7). [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 rat Ipo7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
