The protein contains 151 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 16320 Da.
Component of the Arp2/3 complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates actin polymerization upon stimulation by nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) (PubMed:9230079). The Arp2/3 complex mediates the formation of branched actin networks in the cytoplasm, providing the force for cell motility (PubMed:9230079). 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 (PubMed:29925947). 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) (PubMed:29925947).

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 604227
The Arp2/3 protein complex has been implicated in the control of actin polymerization in cells. The human complex consists of 7 subunits: the actin-related proteins ARP2 (ACTR2; 604221) and ARP3 (ACTR3; 604222), ARC41 (ARPC1B; 604223), ARC34 (ARPC2; 604224), ARC21 (ARPC3; 604225), ARC20 (ARPC4; 604226), and ARC16 (ARPC5). See ACTR2 for additional information about the Arp2/3 complex.
