    text
  • ELMOD1 is an Arf family GAP at the Golgi
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in phagocytosis and apoptosis
  • ELMOD1 and ELMOD2 recently were shown to function as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for the Arf family of small G proteins
  • acts as a GTPase-activating protein for ARF6 in hair cells, and its developmentally regulated GAP activity is required to stabilize apical structures of hair cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

  • ELMOD1 is a GTPase-activating protein in hair cells for the small GTP-binding protein ARF6, known to participate in actin assembly and membrane trafficking
  • by inactivating ARF6, ELMOD1 apparently controls the extent of actin remodeling in hair cells
