Summary: Enables scavenger receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; left/right axis specification; and phagocytosis. Located in several cellular components, including phagocytic cup; phagocytic vesicle membrane; and pseudopodium membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including engulfing cell; hypodermis; intestinal cell; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 10B and early-onset myopathy-areflexia-respiratory distress-dysphagia syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including MEGF10 (multiple EGF like domains 10) and MEGF11 (multiple EGF like domains 11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Phagocytosing muscle cells promote neuronal regeneration and remove neuronal debris through distinct biochemical functions of CED-1.
Title: Engulfing cells promote neuronal regeneration and remove neuronal debris through distinct biochemical functions of CED-1.
The formation of such halos depends on the integrins PAT-2/PAT-3, UNC-112 and the GEF protein UIG-1, but not on the canonical ced-1/6/7 or ced-2/5/12 signaling modules.
Title: Small GTPase CDC-42 promotes apoptotic cell corpse clearance in response to PAT-2 and CED-1 in C. elegans.
CED-7 and TTR-52 may promote the efflux of PS from apoptotic cells through the generation of extracellular phosphatidylserine (PS) vesicles, which lead to exoplasmic leaflet (exPS) expression on phagocytes via TTR-52 and CED-1 to facilitate cell corpse clearance.
Title: CED-1, CED-7, and TTR-52 regulate surface phosphatidylserine expression on apoptotic and phagocytic cells.
TTR-52 is therefore the first bridging molecule identified in C. elegans that mediates recognition of apoptotic cells by crosslinking the PtdSer 'eat me' signal with the phagocyte receptor CED-1.
Title: Caenorhabditis elegans transthyretin-like protein TTR-52 mediates recognition of apoptotic cells by the CED-1 phagocyte receptor.
study found that the intracellular protein sorting complex, retromer, was required for cell corpse clearance by mediating the recycling of CED-1; retromer probably acted through direct interaction with CED-1 in the cell corpse recognition pathway
Title: Retromer is required for apoptotic cell clearance by phagocytic receptor recycling.
CED-1/SCARF1 and C03F11.3/CD36 are beta-glucan binding receptors and define an evolutionarily conserved pathway for the innate sensing of fungal pathogens.
Title: Evolutionarily conserved recognition and innate immunity to fungal pathogens by the scavenger receptors SCARF1 and CD36.
Unfolded protein response genes regulated by ced-1 are required for Caenorhabditis elegans innate immunity.
Title: Unfolded protein response genes regulated by CED-1 are required for Caenorhabditis elegans innate immunity.
Phagocytic receptors, which were thought to act specifically in initiating engulfment, also control phagosome maturation through the sequential activation of multiple effectors such as dynamin, PI(3)P, and Rab GTPases.
Title: Phagocytic receptor CED-1 initiates a signaling pathway for degrading engulfed apoptotic cells.
