GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ELMO3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CED-12, CED12, ELMO-3, FLJ13824
Description
Engulfment and cell motility 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to a C. elegans protein that functions in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and in cell migration. Other members of this small family of engulfment and cell motility (ELMO) proteins have been shown to interact with the dedicator of cyto-kinesis 1 protein to promote phagocytosis and effect cell shape changes.
