RAN binding protein 17(RANBP17) Homo sapiens The transport of protein and large RNAs through the nuclear pore complexes (NPC) is an energy-dependent and regulated process. The import of proteins with a nuclear localization signal (NLS) is accomplished by recognition of one or more clusters of basic amino acids by the importin-alpha/beta complex, see MIM 600685 and MIM 602738. The small GTPase RAN (MIM 601179) plays a key role in NLS-dependent protein import. RAN-binding protein-17 is a member of the importin-beta superfamily of nuclear transport receptors.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002],function:May function as a nuclear transport receptor.,similarity:Belongs to the exportin family.,subunit:Binds to nucleoporins and the GTP-bound form of Ran.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in testis, moderately in pancreas and weakly in other tissues studied.,
