ACTR2 - actin related protein 2 Gene
Also Known as ARP2
Species: Homo sapiens
About ACTR2
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 260 orthologues and 26 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in appendix (RPKM 135.1), lymph node (RPKM 134.7) and 25 other tissues.
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]
