Product Science Overview

Introduction

Actin Related Protein 2/3 Complex, Subunit 5 (ARPC5) is a crucial component of the actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex. This complex is essential for the regulation of actin polymerization in cells, a process that is fundamental for various cellular functions, including cell motility, vesicle trafficking, and receptor endocytosis . The ARPC5 gene encodes one of the seven subunits of the Arp2/3 complex, specifically the p16 subunit .

Structure and Function

The Arp2/3 complex consists of seven subunits: ARP2, ARP3, ARPC1, ARPC2, ARPC3, ARPC4, and ARPC5 . ARPC5, also known as the p16 subunit, plays a pivotal role in the formation of branched actin networks in the cytoplasm, which provide the force necessary for cell motility . Additionally, the Arp2/3 complex promotes actin polymerization in the nucleus, thereby regulating gene transcription and the repair of damaged DNA .

Evolutionary Conservation

The Arp2/3 complex has been conserved through evolution, indicating its fundamental role in cellular processes . The ARPC5 gene is highly conserved across different species, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular integrity and function .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the ARPC5 gene have been associated with various diseases, including Immunodeficiency 113 with Autoimmunity and Autoinflammation, and Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy with Demyelinating Disease of the Central Nervous System . These associations underscore the critical role of ARPC5 in maintaining normal cellular functions and its potential impact on human health.

Research and Applications

The study of ARPC5 and the Arp2/3 complex has significant implications for understanding the mechanisms of cell motility and the development of therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with actin polymerization defects . Recombinant human ARPC5 is used in research to study its function and interactions within the Arp2/3 complex, providing insights into its role in cellular processes and disease mechanisms .
