Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large channels spanning the nuclear envelope that mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. They are composed of multiple copies of ~30 proteins termed nucleoporins (NUPs). Alterations in NUP genes are linked to several human neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. This review focuses on NUPs, their genes, localization, function in the NPC and involvement in human diseases.
核孔复合体(NPCs)是跨越核膜的大型通道,介导核质运输。它们由约30种称为核孔蛋白(NUPs)的蛋白质的多个拷贝组成。NUP基因的改变与几种人类肿瘤性和非肿瘤性疾病有关。本综述聚焦于核孔蛋白、它们的基因、定位、在核孔复合体中的功能以及与人类疾病的关联。
