FunFam 9: Importin subunit alpha

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 0 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus GO:0006607
The directed movement of a protein bearing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, across the nuclear envelope.
1 P52295 (/IMP)
Sperm individualization GO:0007291
The resolution of the male germline syncytium or cyst into individual gametes by packaging each spermatid into its own plasma membrane.
1 P52295 (/IMP)
Female germline ring canal formation GO:0007301
Assembly of the intercellular bridges that connect the germ-line cells of a female cyst.
1 P52295 (/IMP)
Gravitaxis GO:0042332
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to gravity.
1 P52295 (/IMP)
Lymph gland development GO:0048542
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lymph gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lymph gland is one of the sites of hemocyte differentiation. It consists of three to six bilaterally paired lobes that are attached to the cardioblasts during larval stages, and it degenerates during pupal stages.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Nucleus GO:0005634
A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
1 P52295 (/IDA)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
