GTPase activator for RAN (PubMed:8146159, PubMed:8896452, PubMed:16428860).
Converts cytoplasmic GTP-bound RAN into GDP-bound RAN, which is vital for RAN-mediated nuclear import and export (PubMed:8896452, PubMed:27160050).Mediates dissociation of cargo from nuclear export complexes comprising XPO1, RAN and RANBP2 after nuclear export (PubMed:27160050). .

Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus envelope. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cytoplasmic during interphase. Detected at the nuclear envelope during interphase (PubMed:11854305, PubMed:15037602). Targeted to the nuclear pores after sumoylation (PubMed:11854305). During mitosis, associates with mitotic spindles, but is essentially not detected at the spindle poles (PubMed:11854305, PubMed:15037602). Association with kinetochores appears soon after nuclear envelope breakdown and persists until late anaphase (PubMed:11854305). Mitotic location also requ
