MEGF10 is a mammalian ortholog of CED-1 that interacts with clathrin assembly protein complex 2 medium chain and induces large vacuole formation.

Suzuki E, Nakayama M

The mechanisms underlying the engulfment of apoptotic corpses, which is involved in development, cellular homeostasis, and autoimmunity, remain largely unknown in mammals. MEGF10 is a mammalian ortholog of nematode CED-1, a transmembrane protein involved in engulfment of apoptotic corpses. MEGF10-expressing cells display an irregular, mosaic-like pattern of MEGF10, causing cells to tightly adhere to coated glass dishes. This restricted cell ... [more]
