Background
KPNA2 Antibody: Karyopherin, a cytosolic and heterodimeric protein complex consisting of alpha and beta subunits, is responsible for targeting proteins with nuclear localization signals to the nuclear pore complex by an energy requiring, Ran-dependent mechanism. The alpha subunit and imported substrate enter the nucleus and accumulate in the nucleoplasm, while the beta subunit accumulates at the NPC. KPNA2 is the alpha subunit 2 of karyopherin, which forms a complex with importin subunit beta-1 and functions as a cargo carrier that transports various complexes from cytoplasm into nucleus. It is ubiquitously expressed and contains an IBB/importin beta domain, ten Armadillo repeats that bind "cargo" and three intervening nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) . It has recently been reported to play an important role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.
