Nop58

Nop58, also known as Nucleoporin 58, is a protein that is part of the nuclear pore complex—a large structure embedded in the nuclear envelope that surrounds the nucleus of a cell. Its main role is to regulate the transport of molecules, like RNA and proteins, between the nucleus (which contains genetic material) and the cytoplasm (the cell's fluid). By controlling this exchange, Nop58 helps maintain proper cell function and gene expression. It’s essential for processes like cell growth, division, and response to signals, ensuring that the cell's activities occur efficiently and accurately.
