EB1 protein

Patent Granted Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAPRE1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene was first identified by its binding to the APC protein which is often mutated in familial and sporadic forms of colorectal cancer. This protein localizes to microtubules, especially the growing ends, in interphase cells. During mitosis, the protein is associated with the centrosomes and spindle microtubules
