Protein Domain : ELMO domain-containing protein 3

Primary Identifier  IPR030731 Type  Family
Short Name  ELMOD3
description  ELMOD3 (ELMO domain-containing protein 3) is an GTPase-activating protein that acts on Arl2 GTPase. A mutation in the ELMOD3 gene is associated with hearing impairment in humans [].There are six ELMO domain containing proteins identified in humans. They can be classified into two subgroups, ELMOs and ELMODs, according to protein size and domain architecture []. ELMOs are approximately twice as large as ELMODs and contain multiple domains. The function of the ELMO domain is not clear. ELMOs and ELMODs seem to have distinct cellular and biochemical functions. ELMOs interact with DOCKs and enhance the GEF activity of DOCKs, while ELMODs may play a general role in integrating signalling pathways controlled by Arls and other GTPases [, ].
