Also known as 4.1-G4.1G
Summary
EPB41L2 (erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 like 2, HGNC:3379) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q23.1-q23.2, encoding Band 4.1-like protein 2 (O43491). Required for dynein-dynactin complex and NUMA1 recruitment at the mitotic cell cortex during anaphase.
Predicted to enable PH domain binding activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and structural molecule activity. Involved in positive regulation of protein localization to cell cortex. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; cell junction; and nucleus.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)
- PTA-1(CD226 antigen) is localized to membrane rafts and binds the carboxyl-terminal domain of isoforms of the actin-binding protein 4.1G and also can bind human discs large providing the structural basis for a regulated molecular adhesive complex (PMID:15138281)
- An alternatively spliced 4.1G product is shown to be associated with increased Fc gamma RI binding in yeast two-hybrid assays, and to be selectively enriched in most immune cells at the transcript level. (PMID:18023480)
- A phosphoserine-dependent tethering role for protein 4.1G in lipid rafts provides insight into the unique phosphoserine-based regulation of FcgammaRI receptor signaling. (PMID:22003208)
- 4.1G protein depresses PTH-related protein receptor-mediated Gs signaling pathway by suppression of adenylyl cyclase-mediated cAMP production. (PMID:23201780)
- Ca(2+)/CaM binding to GHP, and more specifically to pepG, has profound effects on other functional domains of 4.1G (PMID:23354586)
- Data found that direct binding of 4.1G to the N-terminus of AC6 (AC6-N) contributes to the plasma membrane association of AC6-N and the resulting suppression of AC6 cyclase activity. (PMID:31383768)
- Exosomal circEPB41L2 serves as a sponge for miR-21-5p and miR-942-5p to suppress colorectal cancer progression by regulating the PTEN/AKT signalling pathway. (PMID:34022068)

Function. Required for dynein-dynactin complex and NUMA1 recruitment at the mitotic cell cortex during anaphase.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with FCGR1A. Interacts with TRPC4. Interacts (via CTD domain) with FKBP2. Interacts with NUMA1; this interaction is negatively regulated by CDK1 during metaphase and promotes anaphase-specific localization of NUMA1 in symmetrically dividing cells.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell cortex. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 154 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
