Engulfment and cell motility protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ELMO2 gene.[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the dedicator of cyto-kinesis 1 protein. Similarity to a C. elegans protein suggests that this protein may function in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and in cell migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.[2]
