General description

ARP2 is part of a complex with 7 subunits called ARP2/3. ARP2 is an actin-related protein that function to regulate the actin cytoskeleton.
Anti-ARP2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal, (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the FMS96 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human ARP2.
Mouse Monoclonal Anti-ARP2 antibody binds to human, canine, rat, and mouse ARP2, 40-45kDa.

Immunogen

recombinant human ARP2

Application

Anti-ARP2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:
  • Immunoblotting
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Enzyme linked immuosorbent assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin-related protein 2 (ARP2) is a part of ARP2/3 complex and play a key role in actin filament formation. It mediates changes in the polymerization state of actin filaments. The Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) regulates ARP2/3 complex of proteins. The ARP2/3 complex and its activator spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 2 (Scar2) are involved in Golgi polarization in NIH 3T3 cells. However in primary astrocytes, Golgi polarization involves neither actin cytoskeleton or Arp2/3 complex nor any WASP-family of proteins. In a different model, it was found that the ARP2/3 complex was necessary for neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis. By genetic and loss of function studies, it was demonstrated that Scar is the major regulator of the ARP2/3 complex rather than the WASP family of proteins, the latter having more restricted roles in specific cellular events.

The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) by proteases is crucial in physiological and pathological cell invasion alike. In vitro, degradation occurs at specific sites where invasive cells make contact with the ECM via specialized plasma membrane protrusions termed invadopodia. Here
