NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
RAN (ras-related nuclear protein) is a small GTP binding protein belonging to the RAS superfamily that is essential for the translocation of RNA and proteins through the nuclear pore complex. The RAN protein is also involved in control of DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression. Nuclear localization of RAN requires the presence of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1). Mutations in RAN disrupt DNA synthesis. Because of its many functions, it is likely that RAN interacts with several other proteins. RAN regulates formation and organization of the microtubule network independently of its role in the nucleus-cytosol exchange of macromolecules. RAN could be a key signaling molecule regulating microtubule polymerization during mitosis. RCC1 generates a high local concentration of RAN-GTP around chromatin which, in turn, induces the local nucleation of microtubules. RAN is an androgen receptor (AR) coactivator that binds differentially with different lengths of polyglutamine within the androgen receptor. Polyglutamine repeat expansion in the AR is linked to Kennedy's disease (X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy). RAN coactivation of the AR diminishes with polyglutamine expansion within the AR, and this weak coactivation may lead to partial androgen insensitivity during the development of Kennedy's disease.

Uniprot Description
RAN: a small GTPase belonging to the RAS superfamily that regulates the nucleo-cytoplasmic traffic through the nuclear pore complex, the condensation of chromatin, spindle assembly and cytokinesis, as well as the organization of non-centrosomal microtubules. A major regulator of mitosis and a potential therapeutic target in cancers expressing higher Ras/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 activities. Required for the import of protein into and RNA export from the nucleus. Cycles between the nucleus and cytoplasm in this process. The Ran guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (RanGEF) is nuclear, promoting the GTP-bound state, while the Ran GTPase activating protein (RanGAP) is cytoplasmic, promoting GDP-bound state. RanGDP is imported into the nucleus by nuclear transport factor-2 (NUTF2), where RanGEF catalyses nucleotide exchange and generates RanGTP. RanGTP then binds to transport factors, such as KPNB1 and CAS, and is exported to the cytoplasm, where RanGAP stimulates GTP hydrolysis. Regulates microtubule polymerization during mitosis; micritubule localization of RAN requires the presence of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1), a Ran-GEF. RCC1 generates a high local concentration of RAN-GTP around chromatin which, in turn, induces the local nucleation of microtubules. Regulates the formation and organization of the microtubule network independently of its role in the nucleus-cytosol exchange of macromolecules. GTP-Ran interacts with survivin at S and M phases of the cell cycle. Ran-survivin complexes play a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules. Acts as a negative regulator of the kinase activity of VRK1 and VRK2. Interacts with TERT following the tyrosine phosphorylation of TERT induced by H2O2, inducing nuclear export of TERT. Interacts with MAD2L2. Predominantly nuclear during interphase. Becomes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm during mitosis.

Product Notes
The RAN ran (Catalog #AAA127169) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The RAN Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Monkey 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, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunoprecipitation (IP), RIP. WB: 1:500 - 1:2000 IHC: 1:50 - 1:200 IF: 1:50 - 1:200 IP: 1:20 - 1:50 RIP: 1:20 - 1:50. 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
