'ENA/VASP Homology proteins' or 'EVH' proteins are a family of closely related proteins involved in cell motility in mammals and some invertebrates. EVH proteins are modular proteins that are involved in actin polymerisation, a process that is critical for the upkeep of the cell cytoskeleton and therefore cell viability.
