Nucleophosmin (NPM1)

Involved in diverse cellular processes like ribosome biogenesis, centrosome duplication, protein chaperoning, histone assembly, cell regeneration, and regulation of tumor suppressors p53/TP53 and ARF. Binds ribosome presumably to induce ribosome nuclear export.

Connected with nucleolar ribonucleoprotein structures and bind single-stranded nucleic acids. Acts as a chaperonin for its core histones H3, H2B and H4.
