Mechanistically, a functional nuclear export sequence (any amino acid) was characterised in BATF2 protein, through which BATF2 bound to CRM1 and translocated out of nucleus, ultimately enhancing CRC growth via inducing activator protein 1 (AP‐1)/cyclin D1/phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein (pRb) signalling pathway. This evidence concerns the gene CCND1 and colorectal carcinoma.
