Gene nameACTR2
Protein nameActin related protein 2
Actin-related protein 2 (Actin-like protein 2)
SynonymsARP2
DescriptionFUNCTION: ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates actin polymerization upon stimulation by nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) . The Arp2/3 complex mediates the formation of branched actin networks in the cytoplasm, providing the force for cell motility . Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament . In podocytes, required for the formation of lamellipodia downstream of AVIL and PLCE1 regulation . In addition to its role in the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton, the Arp2/3 complex also promotes actin polymerization in the nucleus, thereby regulating gene transcription and repair of damaged DNA . The Arp2/3 complex promotes homologous recombination (HR) repair in response to DNA damage by promoting nuclear actin polymerization, leading to drive motility of double-strand breaks (DSBs) . .
