Description
Description
Actin-related proteins (Arp) share significant sequence identity with actins. Arps broadly fall into two groups: nuclear Arps, involved in chromatin remodeling; and cytoplasmic Arps, associated with actin. (Adapted from PMID:21859859).
Notes on Group

Cytosketal Arps: Arp1, Arp2, Arp3 and Arp10. Nuclear Arps: Arp5, Arp6, Arp8 and Bap55. Arp53D, which has no obvious ortholog, has not been characterized.
