01
Overview
ELMO2 (Engulfment and cell motility protein 2) is a cytoplasmic adapter protein involved in signaling pathways that regulate cytoskeletal reorganization, cell migration, and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. It participates in the activation of Rac1 GTPase via interaction with Dock proteins, influencing cell motility and potentially cancer cell invasion. ELMO2 is not a classical therapeutic target like enzymes or receptors, but may be studied in disease states where cell migration and engulfment are relevant[1].
