In molecular biology, Enhancer of rudimentary homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ERH gene.[1][2][3]

The Drosophila protein enhancer of rudimentary protein is a small protein of 104 amino acids. It has been found to be an enhancer of the rudimentary gene, involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis.[4]

From an evolutionary point of view, enhancer of rudimentary is highly conserved and has been found to exist in probably all multicellular eukaryotic organisms.[2] It has been proposed that this protein plays a role in the cell cycle.
