[5][6] The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein for the translation initiation factor eIF4E.

This shuttle protein interacts with the importin alpha-beta complex to mediate nuclear import of eIF4E.

It is predominantly cytoplasmic;its own nuclear import is regulated by a nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signals.
