Ran-specific binding protein 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RANBP1 gene.Ran/TC4-binding protein RanBP1 interacts specifically with GTP-charged RAN. RANBP1 encodes a 23-kD protein that binds to RAN complexed with GTP but not GDP. RANBP1 does not activate GTPase activity of RAN but does markedly increase GTP hydrolysis by the RanGTPase-activating protein (RanGAP1). The RANBP1 cDNA encodes a 201-amino acid protein that is 92% similar to its mouse homolog.
