Other Names | Engulfment and cell motility protein 1, Protein ced-12 homolog, ELMO1, KIAA0281 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8761c was selected from the Center region of human ELMO1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ELMO1 |

Synonyms | KIAA0281 |
Function | Involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements required for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cell motility. Acts in association with DOCK1 and CRK. Was initially proposed to be required in complex with DOCK1 to activate Rac Rho small GTPases. May enhance the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of DOCK1. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Note=Translocation to plasma membrane seems to be mediated by DOCK1 and CRK |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed, with a higher expression in the spleen and placenta |

Background
ELMO1 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.
