'''Importin α''' is a soluble adaptor protein also known as '''karyopherin α'''. Its function is to bind a protein containing a cNLS (classical Nuclear Localization Signal) and then to bind an importin β in order to help the import of this protein in the nucleus. | '''Importin α''' is a soluble adaptor protein also known as '''karyopherin α'''.
