ELMO3 engulfment and cell motility 3 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 79767)

Symbol: ELMO3

Full name: engulfment and cell motility 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CED-12; CED12; ELMO-3

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.
