== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IMA1_YEAST IMA1_YEAST] Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif. Promotes docking of import substrates to the nuclear envelope. Seems to act as a cytosolic receptor for both simple and bipartite NLS motifs (By similarity).<ref>PMID:7565597</ref> <ref>PMID:10913188</ref> <ref>PMID:21075847</ref>
