| Full name | | erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 (elliptocytosis 1, RH-linked) |
| Aliases | | ,4.1R,EL1,HE, |
| Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. |
