XPO-2 (Caenorhabditis elegans)
Description [+]
- Synonyms: XPO-2
- Species: Metazoa;Bilateria;Ecdysozoa;Nematoda; Caenorhabditis elegans
- Short gene description: imb-5 encodes an importin-beta-like protein orthologous to mammalian CAS proteins (cellular apoptosis susceptibility) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae CSE1 (chromosome segregation 1). IMB-5 is predicted to function in nuclear transport of proteins required for mitotic progression or apoptosis as well as in re-export of importin-alpha, a nuclear import protein. in C. elegans, IMB-5 is essential for embryogenesis and required for normal pronuclear envelope dynamics, and may also play a role in vulval morphogenesis.
