Preferred Label : actin-related protein 2-3 complex;
MeSH definition : A complex of seven proteins including ARP2 PROTEIN and ARP3 PROTEIN that plays an
essential role in maintenance and assembly of the CYTOSKELETON. Arp2-3 complex binds
WASP PROTEIN and existing ACTIN FILAMENTS, and it nucleates the formation of new branch
point filaments.;
