Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction :-

A specific kind of karyopherin called importin carries protein molecules from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of the cell. By attaching to particular recognition sequences known as nuclear localization sequences, it achieves this. The two subunits of importin are importin and importin.
