The Arp2/3 complex is originally identified in Acanthamoeba and consists of seven proteins (actin-related proteins; Arp2 and Arp3, and Arp2/3 complex subunits; ARPC1-5) that are conserved in all eukaryotes, with the exception of some algae, microsporidia and protists. The complex plays an essential role in a wide variety of cellular processes including lamellipodia-mediated cell migration, endocytosis and phagocytosis, by virtue of its ability to generate branched actin filament networks.

Activation of Arp2/3 requires interaction with actin nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs). Regulation of Arp2/3 activity is achieved by endogenous inhibitory proteins through direct binding to Arp2/3 and competition with NPFs or by binding to Arp2/3-induced actin filaments and disassembly of branched actin networks. Arp2/3 inhibition has recently garnered more attention as it has been associated with attenuation of cancer progression, neurotoxic effects during drug abuse, and pathogen invasion of host cells.

    Dihydrocytochalasin B
    		≥99.0%
    Dihydrocytochalasin B (H2CB) is a Cytokinesis inhibitor and changes the morphology of the cells, similar to that of cytochalasin B; does not inhibit glucose transport. Dihydrocytochalasin B (H2CB) disrupts the actin structure and inhibits the ability of growth factors to stimulate DNA synthesis, reversibly blocks initiation of DNA synthesis. Dihydrocytochalasin B (H2CB) inhibits active calcium transport and causes a Ca2+increase in the mucosal scrapings.

    TR-100
    		Inhibitor ≥99.0%
    TR-100 is a small molecule inhibitor of tumor-associated troponin (Tpm). TR-100 affects the interaction of Tpm3.1 with actin filaments by binding to the C-terminal of Tpm3.1, thereby affecting the stability and function of the actin filaments. This mechanism of action allows TR-100 to specifically affect actin filaments in cancer cells without compromising heart muscle function. TR-100 can be used to study the role of Tpm3.1 in cancer cell proliferation and survival and the effects of Tpm3.1 on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and insulin secretion.
