EPB4IL2 Proteins and Enzymes

EPB41L2/4.1G is a member of the protein 4.1 family which includes erythroid protein 4.1 (4.1R), 4.1N (neuronal), 4.1B (brain) and 4.1G (general). The protein 4.1 family members are defined by the presence of a FERM, SAB, and CTD domain and play a role in cell membrane and cytoskeletal structural organization. EPB41L2/4.1G is widely expressed and localizes to the cytosol, perinuclear area, and centrosomes. Alternate names for EPB41L2/4.1G include erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1-like 2, band 4.1-like protein 2, and generally expressed protein 4.1.
