Function
RNA-binding protein that binds to the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of target mRNAs (By similarity). Seems to recognize a GAAA motif (By similarity). Can bind to its own 3'UTR, the FOS 3'UTR and the ID 3'UTR (By similarity).
Neuronal ELAV (nELAV) proteins are RNA-binding proteins which play a physiological role in controlling gene expression in memory formation, and their alteration may contribute to cognitive impairment associated with neurodegenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). The experiments show for the first time that ADAM10mRNA represents a nELAV target and that these RNA-binding proteins can play a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of ADAM10 expression. nELAV proteins specifically bind the ADAM10 mRNA and this binding is disrupted following Aβ exposure
