The importin beta superfamily member RanBP17 exhibits a role in cell proliferation and is associated with improved survival of patients with HPV+HNSCC

More than twenty years after its discovery, the role of the importin beta superfamily member Ran GTPbinding protein (RanBP) 17 is still ill-defined. Previously, we observed notable RanBP17 RNA expression levels in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines with disruptive TP53 mutations.
