'''Exportins''' (XPO) or '''chromosomal maintenance protein''' mediate the nuclear export of cellular proteins with a leucine-rich export signal (NES) and RNA.  XPO is regulated by GTPaseRan.  RanGTP bind to XPO forming a ternary complex with the exported protein.  The complex diffuses through the nuclear core complex to the cytoplasm and then dissociates.  '''XPO-t''' exports tRNA from the nucleus<ref>PMID:17786152</ref>.
