About ELAVL4

Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity; poly(A) binding activity; and pre-mRNA intronic pyrimidine-rich binding activity. Involved in 3'-UTR-mediated mRNA stabilization; RNA processing; and positive regulation of 3'-UTR-mediated mRNA stabilization. Predicted to be located in axon; cytoplasm; and dendrite. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
