EVL

EVL (Enah/Vasp-Like) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with EVL include Esophageal Varix and Vein Disease. Among its related pathways are Innate Immune System and Developmental Biology. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include actin binding and profilin binding. An important paralog of this gene is ENAH.

Enah/Vasp-like

Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance and lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics in migrating cells. EVL enhances actin nucleation and polymerization.

Cytoskeleton; Stress fiber; Lamellipodium. Targeted to the leading edge of lamellipodia and the distal tip of stress fibers through interaction with a number of proteins. In activated T-cells, localizes to the F-actin collar and the distal tip of microspikes.

Phosphorylated by PKA; phosphorylation abolishes binding to SH3 domains of ABL and SRC.By similarity
