HuD is expressed only in neurons and it binds to AU-rich element-containing mRNAs. As a result of this interaction the half-life of the transcript is increased. HuD is important in neurons during brain development and plasticity.[9][10]
Interactions[]
HuD (protein) has been shown to interact with NXF1.[11]
