Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). Involved in poly(A)+ RNA transport. Part of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). Forms part of the NUP160 subcomplex in the nuclear pore which is composed of NUP160, NUP133, NUP107 and NUP96 (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). This complex plays a role in RNA export and in tethering NUP98 and NUP153 to the nucleus (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-35 is the initiator. Probable cloning artifact. Aberrant splice sites.
