Gene Symbol EML4
Synonyms C2orf2 | ELP120 | EMAP-4 | EMAPL4 | ROPP120
Gene Description EML4, EMAP like 4, plays a role in microtubule formation and stability (PMID: 16890222) and is required for cell proliferation and survival (PMID: 31366041). The fusion protein of EML4-ALK results in transformation activity and is present in a small percentage of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (PMID: 17625570, PMID: 23341890, PMID: 31366041, PMID: 31432686) and has also been reported in pulmonary atypical carcinoid (PMID: 31559892) and cholangiocarcinoma (PMID: 31711728).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Variant Impact Protein Effect Variant Description Associated with drug Resistance
E127* nonsense loss of function - predicted EML4 E127* results in a premature truncation of the Eml4 protein at amino acid 127 of 981 (UniProt.org). Due to the loss of all known functional domains (UniProt.org), E127* is predicted to lead to a loss of Eml4 protein function.
EML4 - ALK fusion gain of function EML4-ALK results from the fusion of EML4 and ALK, resulting in constitutive kinase activity, transformation in cultured cells, and tumor formation in mouse models (PMID: 19064915, PMID: 17625570, PMID: 35138907). EML4-ALK fusions have been associated with non-small cell lung cancer (PMID: 26755435).
EML4 - RET fusion gain of function - predicted EML4-RET results from the fusion of EML4 and RET (PMID: 33082208), which results in increased Erk phosphorylation in cultured cells (PMID: 33848463), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of protein function. EML4-RET has been identified in lung cancer (PMID: 33082208, PMID: 31485557, PMID: 30487236).
fusion fusion unknown EML4 fusion indicates a fusion of the EML4 gene, but the fusion partner is unknown.
inact mut unknown loss of function EML4 inact mut indicates that this variant results in a loss of function of the Eml4 protein. However, the specific amino acid change has not been identified.
mutant unknown unknown EML4 mutant indicates an unspecified mutation in the EML4 gene.
wild-type none no effect Wild-type EML4 indicates that no mutation has been detected within the EML4 gene.
