The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an RNA-binding protein.[7] HuD contains three RRM protein domains, enabling RNA binding.[8]

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.[9][10]

Interactions

HuD (protein) has been shown to interact with NXF1.[11]
