Background of 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 Kennedy's 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 Kennedy's disease.

Antibody Validation

Question

I have a question about product A00204-1, anti-Ran antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-10-02

Answer

We do not recommend storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free A00204-1 anti-Ran antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question

Does anti-Ran antibody A00204-1 work on feline IHC-P with lymph?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-09-04

Answer

Our lab technicians have not tested anti-Ran antibody A00204-1 on feline. You can run a BLAST between feline and the immunogen sequence of anti-Ran antibody A00204-1 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated feline samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in feline lymph in IHC-P, you can get your next antibody for free.

Question

Does A00204-1 anti-Ran antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?

L. Krishna

Verified customer

Asked: 2013-05-13

Answer

You can see on the product datasheet, A00204-1 anti-Ran antibody as been validated on ICC. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.

Question

We ordered your anti-Ran antibody for IHC-F on ovary a few months ago. I am using rat, and I plan to use the antibody for IHC-P next.

F. Mangal

Verified customer

Asked: 2013-04-22

Answer

I have checked the website and datasheets of our anti-Ran antibody and I see that A00204-1 has been validated on rat in both IHC-F and IHC-P. Thus A00204-1 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for IHC-P in rat even if the specific tissue type has not been validated.
