ACTR2 actin related protein 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 10097)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 10097)
Symbol: ACTR2
Full name: actin related protein 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: ARP2
Summary: The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, the protein it encodes is known to be a major constituent of the ARP2/3 complex. This complex is located at the cell surface and is essential to cell shape and motility through lamellipodial actin assembly and protrusion. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
