Relevance 

RanGAP1 is a GTPase activator for the nuclear Ras-related regulatory protein Ran, converting it to the putatively inactive GDP-bound state.

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 1 and the nucleotide exchange factor RCC1, appears to define the local concentration of RanGTP vs. RanGDP involved in signaling. Mammalian RanGAP 1 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.

ab2081 (1/500) detecting RanGap1 in mitotic and interphase Hela cells (green). Dapi was used as counterstain in order to highlight the nucleus (blue) and cells were fixed both in Methanol (-20 °C/ 6 mins, followed by 3 washes in PBS) or Paraformaldehyde (3,7% PFA /10 min at room temperature, 0,1% Triton/PBS 5 min, glycine 5 min, followed by 3 washes in PBS); This antibody also gave good results in NIH-3T3 cells under both the above mentioned fixation procedures (data not shown).
