FAMILY
  • actin family
  • ARP2 subfamily
  • CATEGORY structural protein
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microfilament
    text actin cytoskeleton associated
    basic FUNCTION
  • being essential to cell shape and motility through lamellipodial actin assembly and protrusion
  • ACTR2/ACTR3 is a major nucleator of actin assembly at the zonula adherens (ZA)
  • close relationship exists between ACTR2/ACTR3-mediated actin assembly and myosin-driven contractility at the ZA
  • WASF2–ACTR2/ACTR3 is necessary for myosin II recruitment and tension generation at the zonula adherens
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell organization/biogenesis
    cell communication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component major constituent of the Arp2/3 complex (composed of ACTR2, ACTR3, P41-ARC, P34-ARC, P21-ARC, P20-ARC and P16-ARC)
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to actin
  • interaction between cortactin and ACTR2, ACTR3 complex plays an important role in S1P-mediated remodeling of endothelial cells
