MAEA, Official Symbol MAEAprovided by HGNC Official Full Name macrophage erythroblast attacher, E3 ubiquitin ligaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:13731 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000090316 MIM:606801; AllianceGenome:HGNC:13731 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as EMP; EMLP; GID9; PIG5; HLC-10; P44EMLP Summary This gene encodes a protein that mediates the attachment of erythroblasts to macrophages. This attachment promotes terminal maturation and enucleation of erythroblasts, presumably by suppressing apoptosis. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein with the N-terminus on the extracellular side and the C-terminus on the cytoplasmic side of the cell. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
