Nuclear pore complex protein Nup85 (NUP85)

Essential component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) that seems to be needed for NPC assembly and maintenance (PubMed:12718872). Included in the NPC Nup107-160 subcomplex plays a role in RNA export and in tethering NUP96/Nup98 and NUP153 to the nucleus (PubMed:12718872).

The Nup107-160 complex seems to be necessary for spindle assembly during mitosis (PubMed:16807356). NUP85 is necessary for membrane clustering of CCL2-activated CCR2 (PubMed:15995708).
