Anti-EML4

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EML4 gene. This gene is a member of the echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like family, and it mapped to 2p21. The encoded WD-repeat protein may be involved in microtubule formation. Abnormal fusion of parts of this gene with portions of the anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase gene, which generates EML4-ALK fusion transcripts, is one of the primary mutations associated with non-small cell lung cancer. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants. Protein function: May modify the assembly dynamics of microtubules, such that microtubules are slightly longer, but more dynamic.
