XPO1 exportin 1

Gene ID: 7514, updated on 5-May-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: emb; CRM1; exp1; CRM-1

Summary

This cell-cycle-regulated gene encodes a protein that mediates leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES)-dependent protein transport. The protein specifically inhibits the nuclear export of Rev and U snRNAs. It is involved in the control of several cellular processes by controlling the localization of cyclin B, MPAK, and MAPKAP kinase 2. This protein also regulates NFAT and AP-1.
