basic FUNCTION	upstream regulator of AKT1 required for engulfment of dying cells and for cell migration
	involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements required for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cell motility
	unexpected role for ELMO1, ELMO2, ELMO3 in recruiting MACF1 at the membrane to promote efficient microtubule capture in cells spreading on fibronectin

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, cell death/apoptosis
	cell communication

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts directly with the SH3-domain of DOCK1 via its SH3-binding site
	is an essential upstream regulator of the GTP-binding protein AKT1 during cell migration
	CDX2 and SP1 can activate the ELMO3 promoter
	MACF1 interacts with ELMO2 and ELMO3
