This gene encodes one of seven subunits of the human Arp2/3 protein complex. The Arp2/3 protein complex has been implicated in the control of actin polymerization in cells and has been conserved through evolution. The exact role of the protein encoded by this gene, the p16 subunit, has yet to be det
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation and cell migration. Located in extracellular exosome and focal adhesion. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
