EML4 (Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a fusion partner, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Lung cancer, Thyroid cancer and Non-small-cell lung cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Essential for the formation and stability of microtubules (MTs). Required for the organisation of the mitotic spindle and for the proper attachment of kinetochores to MTs. Promotes the recruitment of NUDC to the mitotic spindle for mitotic progression. Location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton; Cytoplasm; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center (UniProt). Locus 2p21 (HGNC).
