1. Ran

   Ran is a small 25 kDa protein that is involved in transport into and out of the cell nucleus during interphase and also involved in mitosis. It is a member of the Ras superfamily. Ran is a GTP binding protein 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. Mutations in Ran disrupt DNA synthesis. Because of its many functions, it is likely that Ran interacts with several other proteins.

Examples of RAN in a Sentence

1. Jayce Tingler:

   I love the way we've ran the bases all year, we get the base hit to left.

As soon as you see the ball get by, before a coach can say, ‘Go, go, go,’ they've already got two steps.

2. Gabrielle Giffords:

5. Carl Tobias:

   I don't have the impression that Parnell set out to kill people, he just ran his business in a way that caused a lot of injury and some deaths. The sentence was appropriate and maybe it should have been stiffer.
