EPB41L4A Proteins and Enzymes

EPB41L4A, also known as Erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 like 4A, is an approximately 79 kDA 686 amino acid protein, which is currently thought to be connected with cytoskeletal to plasma membrane regulation, and is commonly found highly expressed in brain, liver, and thymus. Studies are currently being performed on the relationship of this EPB41L4A protein to melanomas and teratocarcinoma. This protein is regulated by uranyl nitrate, GnRH-A and Hmga1, and is involved in actin calmodulin and cytoskeletal protein binding.
