TWF2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: TWF2
  • Official Name: twinfilin actin binding protein 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 11344
  • UniProt: Q6IBS0
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Actin-binding protein involved in motile and morphological processes. Inhibits actin polymerization, likely by sequestering G-actin. By capping the barbed ends of filaments, it also regulates motility. Seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles. May play a role in regulating the mature length of the middle and short rows of stereocilia (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
