Background: EMP/MAEA

EMP (erythroblast macrophage protein), also called MAEA (macrophage-erythroblast attacher), is a 36-44 kDa membrane-associated protein in macrophages and erythroblasts within erythroblastic islands. EMP is essential to the process of nuclear extrusion in the transition of erythroblasts to reticulocytes. Within the region used as an immunogen, human EMP shares 98% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat EMP. Four potential isoforms of the canonical 396 aa form encode 360, 355, 328 and 245 aa, with insertions and deletions occurring after aa 150.
