General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the stress fiber dynamics and cell migration By similarity. Required for consolidation of synaptic plasticity as well as formation of long-term memory. Regulates endocytosis of AMPA receptors in response to synaptic activity. Required for homeostatic synaptic scaling of AMPA receptors. Ref.7 Ref.8 |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with SH3GL1/endophilin-2, SH3GL3/endophilin-3 and DNM2/DYN2 By similarity. UniProtKB Q63053 |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton By similarity. Endosome By similarity. Cytoplasmic vesicle › secretory vesicle › acrosome. Cell junction › synapse › postsynaptic cell membrane › postsynaptic density By similarity. Cell projection › dendrite By similarity. Cell projection › dendritic spine By similarity. Cell junction › synapse By similarity. Note: Associated with the cell cortex of neuronal soma and dendrites. Enriched in postsynaptic density of dendritic spines. Enriched on the plasma membrane By similarity. Associated with the sperm tail. Ref.6 |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in brain and testis. Ref.6 |
| Developmental stage | Detectable in brain from postnatal week 1, in testis from postnatal week 3. Ref.6 |
| Disruption phenotype | Mice show deficits in several forms of long-term memory formation including spatial and fear-related learning, conditioned taste aversion as well as long-term object recognition. They show enhanced early-phase but impaired late-phase long-term potentiation (LTP) as well as impaired long-term depression (LTD). Neurons lacking Arc show an increase in surface levels of AMPA receptors. Ref.7 |
| Miscellaneous | Widely used as activity-dependent neuronal marker to identify recently activated neurons in behavioral studies. Ref.7 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the ARC/ARG3.1 family. |
