Background
This gene encodes a protein that associates with the nuclear pore complex and participates in the regulation of nuclear transport. The encoded protein interacts with Ras-related nuclear protein 1 (RAN) and regulates guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding and exchange. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function
function:GTPase activator for the nuclear Ras-related regulatory protein Ran, converting it to the putatively inactive GDP-bound state.,PTM:Phosphorylated occurs before nuclear envelope breakdown and continues throughout mitosis. Phosphorylated by the M-phase kinase cyclin B/Cdk1, in vitro. Differential timimg of dephosphorylation occurs during phases of mitosis. The phosphorylated form remains associated with RANBP2/NUP358 and the SUMO E2-conjugating enzyme, UBC9, on nuclear pore complex (NPC) diassembly and during mitosis.,PTM:Sumoylated by SUMO1. Sumoylation is necessary for targeting to the nuclear envelope (NE), and for association with mitotic spindles and kinetochores during mitosis. Also required for interaction with RANBP2 and is mediated by UBC9.,similarity:Belongs to the RNA1 family.,similarity:Contains 6 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,subcellular location:Cytoplasmic during inte

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Nucleus, nucleoplasm . Nucleus envelope . Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle . Cytoplasmic during interphase. Detected at the nuclear envelope during interphase (PubMed:11854305, PubMed:15037602). Targeted to the nuclear pores after sumoylation (PubMed:11854305). During mitosis, associates with mitotic spindles, but is essentially not detected at the spindle poles (PubMed:11854305, PubMed:15037602). Association with kinetochores appears soon after nuclear envelope breakdown and persists until late anaphase (PubMed:11854305). Mitotic location also requires sumoylation (PubMed:11854305). .
Tissue expression
Highly expressed in brain, thymus and testis.
