[paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis antigen] This antigen is identified by autoantibodies found in the serum of patients with paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis with sensory neuropathy, a disorder of the nervous system characterized by dementia, sensory loss, and other neurologic disabilities and associated with small-cell lung cancer. The cDNA encoding the antigen has been cloned by Szabo et al (1991). The protein is identical with HuD [Hu antigen D], one of several RNA-binding proteins that bind to short-lived mRNAs encoding cytokines and oncogenes. The approved gene symbol is ELAVL4 [embryonic lethal abnormal vision homolog 4], a homolog of the
