Nutf2 - nuclear transport factor 2

Enables nuclear import signal receptor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production; positive regulation of protein import into nucleus; and protein localization to nucleus. Located in cytosol and nuclear outer membrane. Part of nuclear pore central transport channel. Used to study diabetic retinopathy. Orthologous to human NUTF2 (nuclear transport factor 2).
