Activity summary

NUP155 is a nucleoporin a component of the nuclear pore complex that regulates nucleocytoplasmic transport. Its mass is approximately 155 kDa. The protein is prominently expressed in tissues with high cellular activity like the liver and pancreas as it assists in managing the transport needs of these metabolically active areas. NUP155 facilitates the exchange of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm playing a significant role in cellular communication.

Biological function summary

This nucleoporin is essential in maintaining the structure and function of the nuclear envelope. NUP155 is part of the extensive nuclear pore complex which consists of multiple proteins working together to manage the transport of RNA and proteins across the nuclear envelope. NUP155 acts as a scaffold that helps maintain the integrity of this complex ensuring the proper exchange between nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments vital for gene regulation and expression.

Pathways

NUP155 participates in pathways like nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulation. It interacts with other nuclear pore proteins such as NUP93 and NUP205 to coordinate the import and export of macromolecules. In the cell cycle pathway NUP155 ensures proper mitotic progression by managing the transport of regulatory proteins necessary for cell division.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in NUP155 function have associations with cardiac arrhythmias and certain types of cancers. In arrhythmias NUP155 mutations disrupt cellular signaling processes affecting cardiac rhythm regulation. Linked with tumorigenesis abnormal NUP155 expression can alter nucleocytoplasmic transport contributing to cancer development. Its interactions with other proteins like NUP93 may offer insights into therapeutic targets for these conditions.
