ELAV-like protein 1 or HuR is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELAVL1 gene.^[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ELAVL protein family. This encoded protein contains 3 RNA-binding domains and binds cis-acting AU-rich elements. It stabilizes mRNAs and thereby regulates gene expression.^[3]
