LOC101488432 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101488432 on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a Ran GTPase, a small GTP-binding protein with GTPase activity and GTP binding. This gene is associated with signal transduction, vesicle transport, protein secretion, protein nucleus import, ribosomal subunit-nucleus export, immune response, cell death, metabolic burst, and cellular homeostasis. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species connect the Ran GTPase family to nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking. In chickpea, LOC101488432 is also related to the RAN1 gene.
