About Ran

Summary

Enables several functions, including dynein intermediate chain binding activity; guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and importin-alpha family protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mineralocorticoid stimulus; hippocampus development; and spermatid development. Located in several cellular components, including male germ cell nucleus; manchette; and sperm flagellum. Part of nuclear pore. Used to study sciatic neuropathy. 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, Apr 2022]
