Gene information for TWF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5756
Official gene symbolTWF1
Full nametwinfilin, actin-binding protein, homolog 1 (Drosophila)
Aliases,A6,MGC23788,MGC41876,PTK9,
Gene summaryThis 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.
