NTF2-related export protein

UniProtKB accession:  Q9V3H8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Stimulator of protein export for NES-containing proteins (By similarity). Plays a role in the nuclear export of mRNA (PubMed:14729961). Also plays a role in the nuclear export of U1 snRNA, tRNA, and mRNA (By similarity). In ovaries, plays a role in transposable element silencing regulation (PubMed:31219034, PubMed:31368590, PubMed:31384064, PubMed:31570835, PubMed:33856346). Forms a complex with nxf2, Panx and piwi which acts as effector of cotranscriptional transposon silencing (PubMed:31219034, PubMed:31368590, PubMed:31384064, PubMed:31570835). In ovarian follicle cells, enables the nuclear export of flamenco (flam) transcripts and subsequent piRNA biogenesis (PubMed:33856346).
