Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionarx-2 also called as Arp-2 encodes a subunit of the actin related protein of the conserved Arp2/3 complex, with 60% amino acid similarity with the homologous genes from human (OMIM: 604221); arx-2 is an essential gene as disruption in the expression by RNAi results in embryonic arrest due to ventral enclosure defects during morphogenesis; Arp2/3 depletion results in partial shrinking of the Ea/p apical surfaces and incomplete Ea/p cell internalization; WSP-1 activates Arp2/3 complex and their function in ventral enclosure is cell autonomous; Arp2/3 regulates some Apical Junction components in embryos and adults; Arp2/3 is required during intestinal morphogenesis for regulation of intestinal lumen width in embryos and apical F-actin accumulation during larval and adult growth. Mutations in arx-2 causes PDE axon guidance defects; arx-2 mutants affect PQR growth cone morphology and filopodia formation.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005843

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable ATP binding activity and actin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to actin filament binding activity. Involved in Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; embryonic morphogenesis; and epithelial cell migration. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of Arp2/3 protein complex. Expressed in Q cell; anchor cell; apoptotic cell; seam cell; and socket cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human ACTR2 (actin related protein 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
