Background Information
Importin‐4 (IPO4) belongs to the importin β family which directs the cargo to pass through the nuclear pore complex via transient interaction with nucleoporins. IPO4 is responsible for transporting histones H3 and H4 into the nucleus for chromatin assembly. Recently IPO4 has been reported to contribute to gastric cancer progression and poor prognosis.
