Eml1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in brain development; mitotic spindle organization; and neuroblast proliferation. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Located in cytosol. Colocalizes with mitotic spindle midzone and mitotic spindle pole. Is expressed in liver; lung; nervous system; and retina. Used to study congenital nervous system abnormality and subcortical band heterotopia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in skin melanoma and subcortical band heterotopia. Orthologous to human EML1 (EMAP like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse Eml1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
