Description: Ran is a small GTPase of the Ras family that plays a central role in the spacial and temperal organization of eukaryotic cells. During interphase, Ran-GDP localizes to the cytoplasm and Ran-GTP to the nucleus. This polarized localization of Ran ensures its role in nuclear transport (1). During mitosis, Ran-GTP is chromatin associated, where it promotes spindle assembly and nuclear envolope formation (1, 2). In S phase, Ran-GTP associates with and inhibits MCM helicase, ensuring precise chromosomal DNA duplication during the cell cycle (3).
Function: GTPase involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport, participating both to the import and the export from the nucleus of proteins and RNAs (PubMed:10400640, PubMed:8276887, PubMed:8896452, PubMed:8636225, PubMed:8692944, PubMed:9351834, PubMed:9428644, PubMed:9822603, PubMed:26272610). Switches between a cytoplasmic GDP-and a nuclear GTP-bound state by nucleotide exchange and GTP hydrolysis (PubMed:7819259, PubMed:8896452, PubMed:8636225, PubMed:8692944, PubMed:9351834, PubMed:9428644, PubMed:9822603, PubMed:29040603, PubMed:11336674, PubMed:26272610). Nuclear import receptors such as importin beta bind their substrates only in the absence of GTP-bound RAN and release them upon direct interaction with GTP-bound RAN, while export receptors behave in the opposite way. Thereby, RAN controls cargo loading and release by transport receptors in the proper compartment and ensures the directionality of the transport (PubMed:8896452, PubMed:9351834, PubMed:9428644). Interaction with RANBP1 induces a conformation change in the complex formed by XPO1 and RAN that triggers the release of the nuclear export signal of cargo proteins (PubMed:20485264). RAN (GTP-bound form) triggers microtubule assembly at mitotic chromosomes and is required for normal mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation (PubMed:10408446, PubMed:29040603). Required for normal progress through mitosis (PubMed:8421051, PubMed:12194828, PubMed:29040603). The complex with BIRC5/survivin plays a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules (PubMed:18591255). Acts as a negative regulator of the kinase activity of VRK1 and VRK2 (PubMed:18617507). Enhances AR-mediated transactivation. Transactivation decreases as the poly-Gln length within AR increases (PubMed:10400640).
Subunit Structure: Monomer. Interacts with RANGAP1, which promotes RAN-mediated GTP hydrolysis (PubMed:7819259, PubMed:9428644). Interacts with KPNB1 (PubMed:8896452, PubMed:9428644, PubMed:10367892). Interaction with KPNB1 inhibits RANGAP1-mediated stimulation of GTPase activity (PubMed:9428644). Interacts with RCC1 which promotes the exchange of RAN-bound GDP by GTP (PubMed:1961752, PubMed:7819259, PubMed:12194828, PubMed:11336674). Interaction with KPNB1 inhibits RCC1-mediated exchange of RAN-bound GDP by GTP (PubMed:8896452). Interacts (GTP-bound form) with TNPO1; the interaction is direct (PubMed:9351834). Interacts with KPNB1 and with TNPO1; both inhibit RAN GTPase activity (PubMed:8896452, PubMed:9428644). Interacts (via C-terminus) with RANBP1, which alleviates the inhibition of RAN GTPase activity (PubMed:7891706, PubMed:8896452, PubMed:9428644, PubMed:11832950). Interacts with RANGRF, which promotes the release of bound guanine nucleotide (PubMed:29040603). RANGRF and RCC1 compete for an overlapping binding site on RAN (PubMed:29040603). Identified in a complex with KPNA2 and CSE1L; interaction with RANBP1 mediates dissociation of RAN from this complex (PubMed:9428644). Interaction with both RANBP1 and KPNA2 promotes dissociation of the complex between RAN and KPNB1 (PubMed:9428644). Identified in a complex composed of RAN, RANGAP1 and RANBP1 (PubMed:16428860).

Product Notes
The RAN ran (Catalog #AAA325940) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The RAN Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's RAN can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA, ICC (Immunocytochemistry), IF (Immunofluorescence), IHC (Immunohistochemistry), WB (Western Blot). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RAN ran for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RAN, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
