Target

  • Function

    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 (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the stress fiber dynamics and cell migration.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the ARC/ARG3.1 family.

  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle > secretory vesicle > acrosome. Cell junction > synapse > postsynaptic cell membrane > postsynaptic density. Cell projection > dendrite. Cell projection > dendritic spine. Cell junction > synapse. Associated with the cell cortex of neuronal soma and dendrites. Enriched in postsynaptic density of dendritic spines. Associated with the sperm tail (By similarity). Enriched on the plasma membrane.

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-Arc antibody [EPR18950] staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab183183 was shown to bind specifically to Arc. A band was observed at 45 kDa in wild-type Neuro-2a cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in arc knockout cell line ab280071 (knockout cell lysate ab280130). To generate this image, wild-type and arc knockout Neuro-2a cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.
