gene function summary

ipo5 is a nuclear transport receptor that appears to be involved in nuclear import of ribosomal proteins. XB-ART-10637 reports on sequence and expression of ipo5 as karyopherin-β3 in Xenopus. The differential distribution of karyopherin-β3 mRNA during Xenopus embryogenesis is similar to that of several other protein import factors and of ribosomal proteins. These genes thus define a novel synexpression group in the context of ribosome biogenesis.
