Characterising the anticancer effects of a small molecule with potential to inhibit nuclear import via karyopherin beta1

The Karyopherin superfamily is a group of soluble transport proteins which are involved in nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking. Studies have shown the involvement of Karyopherin proteins in nuclear pore assembly, nuclear membrane assembly and DNA replication. Since all these cell regulatory functions ar...
