Description
Product Characteristics: ELMO1, engulfment and cell motility 1 (ced-12 homolog, C. elegans), CED12, KIAA0281, ced-12 homolog 1, engulfment and cell motility 1, CED-12, ELMO-1, MGC126406, OTTHUMP00000207056, OTTHUMP00000207060
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the engulfment and cell motility protein family. These proteins interact with dedicator of cytokinesis proteins to promote phagocytosis and cell migration. Increased expression of this gene and dedicator of cytokinesis 1 may promote glioma cell invasion, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with diabetic nephropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]
