Recombinant Human ELMO domain-containing protein 2 (ELMOD2)

Uniprot Id

Q8IZ81

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ELMOD2

Target Full Name

ELMO domain-containing protein 2

Target Function

Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) toward guanine nucleotide exchange factors like ARL2, ARL3, ARF1 and ARF6, but not for GTPases outside the Arf family. Regulates IFN-related antiviral responses.

Target Tissue Specificity

Alveolar cells (morphologically type II cells) and alveolar macrophages (at protein level). Expressed in brain, colon, heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscle, placenta, small intestine, spleen, stomach and testis. In lung it is expressed in alveolar macrophag

Target Synonyms

9830169G11Rik; ELMD2_HUMAN; ELMO domain containing 2; ELMO domain containing protein 2; ELMO domain-containing protein 2; ELMO/CED 12 domain containing 2; ELMOD2; MGC10084

Target Background

This gene encodes one of six engulfment and motility (ELMO) domain-containing proteins. This gene is thought to play a role in antiviral responses. Mutations in this gene may be involved in the cause of familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
