Type: | Family | Name: | Splicing factor ELAV/HuD |
Description: | These sequences represent the ELAV/HuD subfamily of splicing factors found in metazoa. HuD stands for the human paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis antigen D of which there are 4 variants in human []. ELAV stands for the Drosophila Embryonic lethal abnormalvisual protein []. ELAV-like splicing factors are also known in human as HuB (ELAV-like protein 2), HuC (ELAV-like protein 3, Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration-associated antigen) and HuR (ELAV-like protein 1). These genes are most closely related to the sex-lethal subfamily of splicing factors found in Dipteran insects (). | Short Name: | ELAD_HUD_SF |
