EML2
Description
The EML2 (EMAP like 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
EML2 is a tubulin-binding protein that plays a role in regulating microtubule dynamics. It inhibits the formation and elongation of microtubules, leading to the creation of shorter microtubules.
EML2 is also known as ELP70, EMAP-2, EMAP2.
