ran-5 encodes a protein containing a RanBP1 domain, domains which are predicted to interact with Ran proteins to inhibit dissociation of GTP and to stimulate GAP-mediated GTP hydrolysis by Ran, that affects body morphology, locomotion, and embryonic viability.
Predicted to contribute to GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of nuclear pore. Is an ortholog of human RANBP3 (RAN binding protein 3).

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
