HuD otherwise known as ELAV-like protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL4 gene.[4][5]

The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an RNA-binding protein.[6]

HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to 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.[7][8]

Interactions

HuD (protein) has been shown to interact with NXF1.[9]
