General annotation (Comments)

Function	Functions as component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament. The Arp2/3 complex is involved in organizing the actin system in cell motility and chemotaxis, in phagocytosis and macropinocytosis, at late steps of endosome processing, and in mitosis. In concert with a group of other proteins, the Arp2/3 complex plays a general role in the rapid activation and adaptation of the actin system to its multiple functions.
Subunit structure	Component of the Arp2/3 complex composed of arpB/Arp2, arpC/Arp3, arcA/p41-arc, arcB/p34-arc, arcC/p21-arc, arcD/p20-arc and arcE/p16-arc.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton. Cell projection. Cytoplasm › cytosol. Cytoplasm › cell cortex.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the ARPC5 family.
