The gene EVL (Ena/VASP-like protein) is mapped to human chromosome 14q32.2. It belongs to Ena/VASP family of proteins. The protein has three domains, EVH1 (Ena/VASP homology), proline-rich and EVH2. The rat EVL homolog is present in brain, lung, spleen, thymus and testis.
Synonyms: Anti-Ena/VASP-like protein; Anti-Ena/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein- like
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Ena/VASP protein family is involved in actin dynamics by associating with actin. Ena/VASP-like protein (EVL) interacts with lamellipodin and localizes to the tips of lamellipodia and filopodia to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics. EVL interacts with RAD51 (DNA repair protein) and RAD51B, and participates in homologous recombination repair of DNA double-strand breaks. It is down-regulated in colorectal adenocarcinomas and adenomas. On the other hand, it is up-regulated in breast tumors.
