Karyopherin alpha2 (KPNA2) Antibody- Rat Anti-Karyopherin alpha2 (KPNA2)
The import of proteins into the nucleus is a process that involves at least 2 steps The first is an energy independent docking of the protein to the nuclear envelope and the second is an energy dependent translocation through the nuclear pore complex Imported proteins require a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) which generally consists of a short region of basic amino acids or 2 such regions spaced about 10 amino acids apart Proteins involved in the first step of nuclear import have been identified in different systems These include the Xenopus protein importin and its yeast homolog SRP1 (a suppressor of certain temperature sensitive mutations of RNA polymerase I in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) which bind to the NLS KPNA2 protein interacts with the NLSs of DNA helicase Q1 and SV40 T antigen and may be involved in the nuclear transport of proteins KPNA2 also may play a role in V(D)J recombination

Ran Antibody- Rabbit Anti-Ran
Ran (ras-related nuclear protein) is a small GTP binding protein belonging to the RAS superfamily that is essential for the translocation of RNA and proteins through the nuclear pore complex The Ran protein is also involved in control of DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression Nuclear localization of Ran requires the presence of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) Mutations in Ran disrupt DNA synthesis Because of its many functions it is likely that Ran interacts with several other proteins Ran regulates formation and organization of the microtubule network independently of its role in the nucleus-cytosol exchange of macromolecules Ran could be a key signaling molecule regulating microtubule polymerization during mitosis RCC1 generates a high local concentration of Ran-GTP around chromatin which in turn induces the local nucleation of microtubules Ran is an androgen receptor (AR) coactivator that binds differentially with different lengths of polyglutamine within the androgen receptor Polyglutamine repeat expansion in the AR is linked to Kennedys disease (X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy) Ran coactivation of the AR diminishes with polyglutamine expansion within the AR and this weak coactivation may lead to partial androgen insensitivity during the development of Kennedys disease

RanGAP Antibody- Rabbit Anti-RanGAP
Ran is a small signaling GTPase that is involved in nucleocytoplasmic
transport. Two additional functions of animal Ran in the formation of spindle
asters and the reassembly of the nuclear envelope in mitotic cells have been
recently reported. In contrast to Ras or Rho, Ran is not associated with
membranes. Instead, the spatial sequestering of its accessory proteins, the Ran
GTPase-activating protein RanGAP and the nucleotide exchange factor RCC1,
appears to define the local concentration of RanGTP vs. RanGDP involved in
signaling. Mammalian RanGAP is bound to the nuclear pore by a mechanism
involving the attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier protein (SUMO)
to its C terminus and the subsequent binding of the SUMOylated domain to the
nucleoporin Nup358
