PDB 3I8E  (X-ray  3.40A 
DBSNP rs587777425 
Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22500989}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22500989}. Note=It shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Nuclear import is mediated by KPNA1 and KPNB1 under the regulation of nuclear GTPase RAN. Nuclear export to the cytoplasm is XPO1 dependent. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22500989}.
