Facts about Actin-related protein 3.
Seems to contact the pointed end of their daughter actin filament (PubMed:9000076). Besides its role in the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton, the Arp2/3 complex also promotes actin polymerization in the nucleus, thereby regulating gene transcription and repair of damaged DNA (PubMed:17220302, PubMed:29925947).
