Summary: Enables several functions, including AP-1 adaptor complex binding activity; ATPase binding activity; and Arp2/3 complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; cellular response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulus; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; dendrite; and distal axon. Part of filamentous actin. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and postsynapse. Biomarker of silicosis. Orthologous to human ARPC2 (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
