Actin-related protein 3 (Arp3) heterodimerizes with Arp2 to form the Arp2/3 complex, which is involved in actin polymerization in a range of cell types. CK-636 is an inhibitor of Arp2/3 complex action that binds the complex and inhibits actin polymerization in vitro, using human, bovine and fission yeast proteins (IC50s = 4, 32, and 24 µM, respectively).{27974} It is cell permeable, as it prevents actin polymerization and the formation of actin filament comet tails by Listeria in infected SKOV3 cells (IC50 = 22 µM).{27974} CK-636 is used to explore the role of Arp2/3 complex in cellular functions, including epidermal barrier formation and T cell migration.{27975,27976}
