| Background | The prompt clearance of cells undergoing apoptosis is critical during embryonic development, normal tissue turnover, as well as inflammation and autoimmunity. CED6 and its human homologue gulp, encode an adapter protein, whose function in engulfment. The upstream and downstream components of CED6 mediated signaling are not known. Recently, CED1 has been shown to encode a transmembrane protein on phagocytic cells, with two functional sequence motifs in its cytoplasmic tail that are important for engulfment. |
