HuD (protein)

HuD otherwise known as ELAV-like protein 4 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL4 is_associated_with::gene.

The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an is_associated_with::RNA-binding protein.

HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to is_associated_with::AU-rich element-containing mRNAs. As a result of this interaction the half-life of the transcript is increased. HuD is important in neurons during brain development and plasticity.

Interactions
HuD (protein) has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::NXF1.
