背景
The nuclear pore complex is a massive structure that extends across the nuclear envelope,
forming a gateway that regulates the flow of macromolecules between the nucleus and the
cytoplasm. Nucleoporins are the main components of the nuclear pore complex in eukaryotic
cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-spanning glycoprotein that is a major
component of the nuclear pore complex. Multiple pseudogenes related to this gene are
located on chromosome 3.
