ELMO2 - engulfment and cell motility 2 Gene
Also Known as VMPI; CED12; CED-12; ELMO-2; Ced-12A
Species: Homo sapiens
About ELMO2
This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 20.6), testis (RPKM 16.7) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the dedicator of cyto-kinesis 1 protein. Similarity to a C. elegans protein suggests that this protein may function in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and in cell migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
