HuD otherwise known as ELAV-like protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL4 gene.^[5]^[6]

The HuD/ELAVL4 protein is an RNA-binding protein.^[7]

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.^[8]^[9]

Interactions

HuD (protein) has been shown to interact with NXF1.^[10]
