This gene encodes a protein that is related to epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8 (EPS8), a substrate for the epidermal growth factor receptor. The function of this protein is unknown. At least two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.EPS8L1 (EPS8 Like 1) is a Protein Coding gene. GO annotations related to this gene include actin binding and Rho guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. An important paralog of this gene is EPS8.
