Facts about Emerin.
Inhibits beta-catenin activity by preventing its accumulation in the nucleus. Acts by changing the nuclear accumulation of beta- catenin through a CRM1-dependent export pathway.

Skeletal muscle, heart, colon, testis, ovary and pancreas.
Nucleus inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Nucleoplasmic side. Nucleus outer membrane. Colocalized with BANF1 at the central region of the assembling nuclear rim, near spindle-attachment sites. The accumulation of different intermediates of prelamin-A/C (non-farnesylated or carboxymethylated farnesylated prelamin-A/C) in fibroblasts modify its localization in the nucleus.
