Context examples:
NUP98 docking/transport function is localized to N-terminal GLFG/FXFG repeats. mRNA nuclear export inhibition by Vesicular Stomatitis Virus M Protein targets NUP98.
(Nucleoporin 98kD, NCI Thesaurus)
NUP214 is required for proper cell cycle progression and, as a nuclear pore component, may regulate nucleocytoplasmic transport by serving as a docking site in receptor-mediated nuclear import.
(Nucleoporin 214kDa, NCI Thesaurus)
This protein plays a role in the docking of kinases and adaptor molecules that are involved in integrin-mediated signaling pathways.
(Enhancer of Filamentation 1, NCI Thesaurus)
Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of two 'hemichannels', each containing six connexins, contributed by each neighboring cell.
(Gap Junction Assembly Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)
In its role as a ubiquitin ligase and docking protein, Cbl desensitizes EGF signaling and also opposes cellular proliferation induced by EGF.
(EGF Receptor Downregulation by CBL Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)
FRS2 may function as a lipid-anchored docking protein that targets signaling molecules to the plasma membrane in response to FGF to link receptor activation with MAPK and other pathways essential for cell growth and differentiation.
(FGFR Substrate 2, NCI Thesaurus)
The import of membrane proteins into peroxisomes needs PEX19 for recognition, targeting and insertion via docking at PEX3.
(Peroxisome Biogenesis Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)
NUP98 likely functions as an import docking protein.
