Importin 4 is a member of importin protein family. It is a 119 kDa protein.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human Importin 4
Application
Anti-Importin 4 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in several immunochemical techniques including immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Importins can mediate the nuclear import of a diverse set of protein or RNA cargoes. Importins were implicated in anti-aggregation activity of highly basic cargo like histones and ribosomal proteins and in preventing their undesired interactions with other cellular components. It has been identified as an import factor for ribosomal protein rpS3a, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the sperm transition protein transition protein 2 (TP2).
