Gene: ELAVL3

Alternate names for this Gene: HUC|HUCL|PLE21

Gene Summary: A member of the ELAVL protein family, ELAV-like 3 is a neural-specific RNA-binding protein which contains three RNP-type RNA recognition motifs. The observation that ELAVL3 is one of several Hu antigens (neuronal-specific RNA-binding proteins) recognized by the anti-Hu serum antibody present in sera from patients with paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis and sensory neuronopathy (PEM/PSN) suggests it has a role in neurogenesis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.2

Description of this Gene: ELAV like RNA binding protein 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
