Comments
  • 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.
  • SUBUNIT: Interacts with SH3GL1/endophilin-2, SH3GL3/endophilin-3 and DNM2/DYN2.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Endosome. Acrosome (By similarity). Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell projection, dendritic spine. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane, postsynaptic density. Cell junction, synapse. Note=Associated with the cell cortex of neuronal soma and dendrites. Enriched in postsynaptic density of dendritic spines. Associated with the sperm tail.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed exclusively in certain parts of the brain including cortex and molecular layer of the hippocampus. Typically expressed at high level in a minority of neurons. Basal expression higher in cortex than in hippocampus, highest in visual cortex.
  • DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed during postnatal development from day 8. Highest expression around day 23 with moderate levels expressed to adulthood.
  • INDUCTION: By synaptic activity in hippocampus, cerebral cortex, amygdala and hypothalamus. Highest level in hippocampus within 30 min, dropping to basal levels within 24 hours. By NGF and EGF in fibroblasts.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: Widely used as activity-dependent neuronal marker to identify recently activated neurons in behavioral studies (By similarity).
  • MISCELLANEOUS: Neurons overexpressing Arc show reduced AMPA receptor-dependent synaptic transmission associated with reduced surface levels of AMPA receptor. This effect is dependent on NMDA receptor activity.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: Transcripts enriched in dendrites may be translated locally.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ARC/ARG3.1 family.
