{"symbol":"EPB41","synonyms":["EL1","4.1R","HE"],"name":"erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":2035,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/2035","proteins":[{"symbol":"41_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/41_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
