General description

The Arp2/3 complex, which contains ARP2, ARP3, ARPC1B/p41-ARC, ARPC2/p34-ARC, ARPC3/p21-ARC, ARPC4/p20-ARC and ARPC5/p16-ARC, plays a major role in the regulation of the actin polymerization in the cytoskeleton. Two of complex′s seven subunits (ARP2 and ARP3) closely resemble monomeric actin and serve as nucleation sites for new actin filaments. The Arp2/3 complex works in conjunction with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) to aid in the formation of branched actin networks. The regulation of actin cytoskeleton reorganization is important for processes like cell migration, phagocytosis, and intracellular motility of lipid vesicles.
