Entrez gene ID | | 5756 |
Official gene symbol | | TWF1 |
Full name | | twinfilin, actin-binding protein, homolog 1 (Drosophila) |
Aliases | | ,A6,MGC23788,MGC41876,PTK9, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes twinfilin, an actin monomer-binding protein conserved from yeast to mammals. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this protein may be an actin monomer-binding protein, and its localization to cortical G-actin-rich structures may be regulated by the small GTPase RAC1.
