Subcellular location
- Subcellular Location:
- Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton
Function
- Function:
- Functions as ATP-binding 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.
