Ipo5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable nuclear import signal receptor activity and nuclear localization sequence binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of protein import into nucleus; and protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human IPO5 (importin 5).

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 Ipo5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
