General description

Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (ARC) encodes a growth factor and is an immediate early gene (IEG) that is enriched in brain. It is also known as Arg3.1.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Arc, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved (89% sequence identity) in rat and mouse Arc.

Application

Anti-Arc (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (ARC) is associated with synaptic plasticity and normal development in the central nervous system (CNS) induced by neuronal activity. Arc expression is tightly controlled by neuronal activity and its mRNA is rapidly localized to neuronal dendrites and spines where it undergoes local translation. Arc induction is required for late long-term potentiation (LTP) and memory consolidation, as well as LTP-induced cofilin phosphorylation and F-actin stabilization. Arc is known to regulate endocytosis of AMPA receptors mediated interaction with endophilin 3 and dynamin 2, notch signalling and spine morphology.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
