AGC family kinase 1 participates in trogocytosis but not in phagocytosis in Entamoeba histolytica

Entamoeba histolytica can kill host cells by trogocytosis, while it ingests dead cells by phagocytosis. Here, Somlata et al. show that EhAGCK1, an AGC family kinase, is specifically involved in trogocytosis, shedding light on the molecular differences between trogocytosis and phagocytosis.
