Zinc fingers RANBP2-type
zinc fingers ranbp2-type
This group represents genes encoding proteins with the zinc finger domain found in RanBP2 proteins. Ran is an evolutionary conserved member of the Ras superfamily that regulates all receptor-mediated transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Ran binding protein 2 (RanBP2) is a 358kDa nucleoporin located on the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex which plays a role in nuclear protein import . RanBP2 contains multiple zinc fingers which mediate binding to RanGDP.
