nxf-2 encodes a predicted homolog of human TAP protein, a member of the NXF family of shuttling transport receptors for nuclear export of mRNA, and it affects embryonic viability.
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in poly(A)+ mRNA export from nucleus. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in germ cell. Is an ortholog of several human genes including NXF1 (nuclear RNA export factor 1); NXF2 (nuclear RNA export factor 2); and NXF3 (nuclear RNA export factor 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
