Sterile alpha motif domain containing 4A is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the SAMD4A
gene.
[5]
Function
Sterile alpha motifs (SAMs) in proteins such as SAMD4A are part of an
RNA-binding domain that functions as a posttranscriptional regulator by binding to an RNA sequence motif known as the Smaug recognition element, which was named after the DrosophilaSmaug protein (Baez and Boccaccio, 2005 [PubMed 16221671]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
