Summary: A structural constituent of nuclear pore. Involved in NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be part of nuclear pore central transport channel. Is expressed in several structures, including Malpighian tubule primordium; adult head; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; ganglia; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia 37, early-onset with striatal lesions. Orthologous to human NUP54 (nucleoporin 54). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
