Yippee like 4 (Ypel4) is essential for normal mouse red blood cell membrane integrity
Abstract The YPEL family genes are highly conserved across a diverse range of eukaryotic organisms and thus potentially involved in essential cellular processes. Ypel4, one of five YPEL family gene orthologs in mouse and human, is highly and specifically expressed in late terminal erythroid differen...
