Biological Description

Specificity ARPC5/p16 ARC Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total ARPC5/p16 ARC protein.
Background ARPC5/p16 ARC is a protein that serves as one of the seven subunits of the ubiquitously expressed actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex, a key actin nucleator responsible for generating branched actin filament networks essential for diverse cellular processes such as cell migration, vesicle trafficking, receptor endocytosis, and immune synapse formation. Structurally, ARPC5/p16 ARC is a small, predominantly α-helical subunit that helps stabilize the Arp2/3 complex and modulates its actin-nucleating efficiency, with mammals expressing two paralogous isoforms—ARPC5 and ARPC5L. ARPC5/p16 ARC is ubiquitously expressed, with detectable levels in immune cells, muscle, and neural tissues, and is differentially required for specific actin-dependent processes, such as organizing transverse triads in muscle and regulating immune cell activation. Functionally, ARPC5/p16 ARC contributes to branched actin assembly, cell polarity, and intracellular trafficking, and its loss impairs cytoskeletal organization, cytokine signaling (notably IL-6), and immune responses. Pathogenic biallelic ARPC5/p16 ARC mutations cause severe developmental defects, prenatal lethality in mice, and syndromic early-onset immunodeficiency in humans, while aberrant overexpression is linked to cancer progression, invasion, and poor prognosis in tumors such as gliomas and hepatocellular carcinoma.
