DESCRIPTION

Also known as ELMO2_MOUSE, Elmo2, Kiaa1834. 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 (By similarity). Interacts directly with the SH3-domain of DOCK1 via its SH3-binding site (PubMed:25533347). Probably forms a heterotrimeric complex with DOCK1 and RAC1. Interacts with ARHGEF16, DOCK4 and EPHA2; mediates activation of RAC1 by EPHA2 (By similarity). Interacts with ADGRB3 (By similarity). Interacts with AUTS2; the interaction is direct (PubMed:25533347).
