Caenorhabditis elegans myotubularin MTM-1 negatively regulates the engulfment of apoptotic cells.
During programmed cell death, apoptotic cells are recognized and rapidly engulfed by phagocytes.Although a number of genes have been identified that promote cell corpse engulfment, it is not well understood how phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is negatively regulated.Here we have identified Caenorhabditis elegans myotubularin MTM-1 as a negative reg
