Description

EVA1B (Eva-1 Homolog B) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12q13.13. It encodes a transmembrane protein involved in the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis. The protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes, and its expression is induced under stress conditions such as nutrient deprivation. EVA1B has been implicated in tumor suppression and cellular stress responses.

Protein Summary

The EVA1B protein (UniProt Q9H8H0) is a 163-amino acid transmembrane protein with a single transmembrane domain. It localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes, where it promotes autophagosome formation and lysosomal function. EVA1B interacts with BECN1 and other autophagy regulators, and its expression is often downregulated in cancers, suggesting a tumor suppressor role.
