Anti-NUP85

Protein function: Essential component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) that seems to be required for NPC assembly and maintenance (PubMed:12718872). As part of the NPC Nup107-160 subcomplex plays a role in RNA export and in tethering NUP96/Nup98 and NUP153 to the nucleus (PubMed:12718872). The Nup107-160 complex seems to be required for spindle assembly during mitosis (PubMed:16807356). NUP85 is required for membrane clustering of CCL2-activated CCR2 (PubMed:15995708). Seems to be involved in CCR2-mediated chemotaxis of monocytes and may link activated CCR2 to the phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase-Rac-lammellipodium protrusion cascade (PubMed:15995708).
