Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; nuclear import signal receptor activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of nuclear pore. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production; positive regulation of protein import into nucleus; and protein localization to nucleus. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear outer membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of nuclear pore central transport channel. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic retinopathy. Orthologous to human NUTF2 (nuclear transport factor 2).
