Biological process

ribosomal protein import into cell nucleus, ribosomal protein transport from cytoplasm to nucleus, ribosomal protein-nucleus import

The directed movement of a ribosomal protein from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, across the nuclear membrane. At least some ribosomal proteins, including rpl12, uses the importin 11 pathway as a major route into the nucleus.

Ribosomal protein rpl12 uses a different import pathway, which is why it has a separate GO term.
