Importin subunit alpha-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KPNA6 gene.Nucleocytoplasmic transport a signal- and energy-dependent process takes place through nuclear pore complexes embedded in the nuclear envelope. The import of proteins containing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) requires the NLS import receptor a heterodimer of importin alpha and beta subunits also known as karyopherins.
