| Location | Location ID | Description |
| Nuclear Envelope | SL-0178 | The nuclear envelope is a membrane system which surrounds the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is composed of the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and two nuclear membranes. The space between the two membranes is called the nuclear intermembrane space. | Membrane Topology |

Description |
|
|---|---|
| Required for the maintenance of uterine histoarchitecture and normal female reproductive lifespan. May serve as a universal non- classical progesterone receptor in the uterus. Intracellular heme chaperone required for delivery of labile, or signaling heme, to the nucleus. Plays a role in adipocyte function and systemic glucose homeostasis. In brown fat, which has a high demand for heme, delivery of labile heme in the nucleus regulates the activity of heme-responsive transcriptional repressors such as NR1D1 and BACH1. {By SimilarityUniProtKB:Q80UU9}. | Assigned Ontology terms |
