Anti-Importin 5 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

Importin 5 (IPO5) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 13q32.2. The encoded protein belongs to the importin β family. It is primarily expressed in cytoplasm, specifically in the nuclear pore complex.

Anti-Importin 5 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence.

Importin 5 (IPO5) in association with nucleoside triphosphates and the small GTP binding protein Ran, facilitates migration of nuclear localization signal (NLS)-containing cargo from cytoplasm to nucleus. IPO5 also plays a vital role in apolipoprotein A-1 excretion and also helps in transport of lipids from peripheral tissues via reverse cholesterol transport pathway. Additionally, the encoded protein facilitates transport of ribosomal proteins and core histones into the nucleus. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of schizophrenia.

Importin 5 (also known as IPO5, karyopherin β-3, importin subunit β-3, KPNB3 and RANBP5) has been identified as an importin for histones and proteins L23a, S7, and L5, and also to the PB1 subunit of the influenza A virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
