RANBP3 explained

Ran-binding protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RANBP3 gene.[1] [2]

This gene encodes a protein with a RanBD1 domain that is found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. This protein plays a role in nuclear export as part of a heteromeric complex. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

Interactions

RANBP3 has been shown to interact with RCC1[3] and XPO1.[4] [5]
