Also known as: AAF30287; CG1404; Dmel\CG1404; dran; l(1)G0075; Q9VZ23; ran; RAN; ran10A; RanGTP
Summary: Enables GTP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; nuclear pore complex assembly; and regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Located in cell cortex; mitotic spindle microtubule; and nucleus. Colocalizes with mitotic spindle. Is expressed in several structures, including CNS glial cell; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; ganglia; gut section; and head epidermis primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human RAN (RAN, member RAS oncogene family). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
