Description: Homo sapiens ARP2 actin-related protein 2 homolog (yeast) (ACTR2), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001005386): The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, the protein it encodes is known to be a major constituent of the ARP2/3 complex. This complex is located at the cell surface and is essential to cell shape and motility through lamellipodial actin assembly and protrusion. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr2:65,454,829-65,498,390 Size: 43,562 Total Exon Count: 10 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr2:65,469,195-65,495,868 Size: 26,674 Coding Exon Count: 8
ID:E9PF41_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: SubName: Full=Actin-related protein 2; SIMILARITY: Belongs to the actin family. CAUTION: The sequence shown here is derived from an Ensembl automatic analysis pipeline and should be considered as preliminary data.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
