EPB41L4B Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell adhesion; positive regulation of keratinocyte migration; and wound healing. Acts upstream of or within actomyosin structure organization. Located in apical part of cell; cytosol; and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human EPB41L4B often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
