ARPC
ARPC is an acronym that can refer to different concepts across disciplines. The most established biological reference is the Arp2/3 complex, a seven-subunit protein machine essential for initiating actin filament growth and creating branched actin networks. The complex includes two actin-related proteins, Arp2 and Arp3, plus five subunits named ARPC1–ARPC5. By promoting nucleation and branching, the Arp2/3 complex supports cellular processes such as lamellipodial extension, endocytosis, and vesicle trafficking. It is regulated by nucleation-promoting factors and is studied in diverse organisms, from yeast to humans, due to its central role in cell motility and morphology.
In information technology, ARPC has been used to denote asynchronous remote procedure call in some systems.
Beyond biology and IT, ARPC is also used as an acronym for various organizations, committees, or projects,
