    RAN kinase are classified into "Other" group. Three family members have been identified in yeast while no members have been found in mammals. Yeast member VHS1 functions as a ser/thr protein kinase involved in the G1-S transition. The functions and regulation of Other two members, KSP1 and SKS1 remain to be further understood (1).
