Gene:
engulfment and cell motility 1 (ced-12 homolog, C. elegans)
Gene ID:
203232
Symbol:
ELMO1
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the dedicator of cyto-kinesis 1 protein to promote phagocytosis and effect cell shape changes. Similarity to a C. elegans protein suggests that this protein may function in apoptosis and in cell migration. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
