Transportin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNPO1 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes the beta subunit of the karyopherin receptor complex which interacts with nuclear localization signals to target nuclear proteins to the nucleus. The karyopherin receptor complex is a heterodimer of an alpha subunit which recognizes the nuclear localization signal and a beta subunit which docks the complex at nucleoporins. Alternate splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different proteins.[3]

Interactions

Transportin 1 has been shown to interact with RGPD5[4] and Ran (biology).[5][6]
