Summary: Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in several processes, including cell projection assembly; cortical actin cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of cell shape. Located in apical cortex. Colocalizes with contractile ring. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head and embryonic/larval midgut. Orthologous to human ARPC2 (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2).
