DAG for GO:0043652id: GO:0043652

name: engulfment of apoptotic cell
namespace: biological_process
def: "The removal of the apoptotic cell by phagocytosis, by a neighboring cell or by a phagocyte." [GOC:rk, PMID:15536015]
comment: This term should be used to annotate gene products from the engulfing cell that facilitate phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. It should not be mistaken with GO:0070782 'phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface', a process occurring in apoptotic cells that acts as a signal for engulfing cells. If gene products involved in such instances of phosphatidylserine exposure are shown to have a positive effect on engulfment, they may be annotated to GO:1901076 'positive regulation of engulfment of apoptotic cell'.
synonym: "engulfment of apoptotic cell corpse" EXACT []
synonym: "engulfment of cell corpse" EXACT []
is_a: GO:0006911 ! phagocytosis, engulfment
