ID Q86HW7; PN Nuclear transport factor 2; GN nutf2; OS 44689; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0178; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0179; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0182; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0183; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0185; SL Comments: Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61970}. Nucleus outer membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61972}. Nucleus, nuclear pore complex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61972}. Nucleus inner membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61972}. Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61970}. Note=At steady state it is essentially nucleoplasmic, enriched in nucleoplasmic foci. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61970}. DR UNIPROT: Q86HW7; DR UNIPROT: Q551K9; DR Pfam: PF02136; DR PROSITE: PS50177; DE Function: Mediates the import of GDP-bound RAN from the cytoplasm into the nucleus which is essential for the function of RAN in cargo receptor-mediated nucleocytoplasmic transport. Thereby, plays indirectly a more general role in cargo receptor-mediated nucleocytoplasmic transport. Interacts with GDP-bound RAN in the cytosol, recruits it to the nuclear pore complex via its interaction with nucleoporins and promotes its nuclear import. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61970}.
