Nucleoporin NDC1

UniProtKB accession:  P32500

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the spindle pole body (SPB), probably by playing a key role in de novo assembly and insertion of both structures in the nuclear envelope. In SPB duplication NDC1 is required for the insertion of the cytoplasmic side of the SPB in the nuclear envelope, thus allowing for the assembly of the nucleoplasmic SPB side. NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors.
