= Exportin-5
{c}
A nuclear transport factor carrying suitable precursor <microRNA> hairpins into the <cytoplasm>.
Transport is coupled to the <Ran> <nucleotide> system, with different binding conditions in nucleus and <cytoplasm> helping release cargo on the appropriate side. Export is one step of <microRNA> biogenesis rather than a direct measure of final target repression. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapter 12, Transport between the Nucleus and the Cytosol]{ref}
