Gene information for TWF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
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.
