Inclusion of Scar/WAVE3 in a similar complex to Scar/WAVE1 and 2

Craig F Stovold, Thomas H Millard, Laura M Machesky BMC Cell Biology 2005, 6:11 (7 March 2005)

The similar protein-protein interactions and cellular localizations of the three Scar/WAVE proteins suggest that they participate similarly in regulating actin assembly and that any differences are due to varied tissue expression or affinities for binding partners.
