Bioactivity | BIMAX2 is a high affinity nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide. BIMAX2 can mimic the activity of the classical nuclear localization signal (cNLS) and competitively bind to importin α, thereby inhibiting the binding of cNLS-cargo proteins to importin α. BIMAX2 can be used to study the role of RBBP4 in regulating nuclear import efficiency and cell senescence[1]. |
