    basic FUNCTION
  • regulates the distribution of RAN
  • essential regulator of the RAN distribution in living cells and NUTF2-mediated RAN nuclear import is required for NLS-dependent protein import
  • NUTF2 and RAN control nuclear import of the filamentous actin capping protein CAPG
  • potential mediator of retinal vasculature integrity, and may act by altering VEGFA expression, thereby influencing the development of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • bind nuclear pore complex proteins and the GDP form of RAN
  • RAN is an import cargo of NUTF2
  • interaction with XPO6 (reduction of its activity leads to actin accumulation via failure of RANGTP restoration and NUTF2 sequestration in the nuclei of senescent cells
  • cell & other
