Function: Actin-binding protein involved in motile andmorphological processes. Inhibits actinpolymerization, likely by sequesteringG-actin. By capping the barbed ends offilaments, it also regulates motility. Seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediate dendocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles (By similarity). Cellular location: Cellular Location Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.Note=Diffuse cytoplasmic localization withper inuclear and G-actin-rich cortical actinstructures sublocalization. Also found at membrane ruffles and cell-cell contacts (Bysimilarity). Tissue location: Tissue Location
Expressed at high levels in the colon, testis,ovary, prostate and lung. Expressed at lower levels in the brain, bladder and heart. Notdetected in liver.

ncbi 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.

uniprot summary :
A6: 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. Interacts with G-actin; ADP-actin form and capping protein (CP). May also be able to interact with TWF2 and phosphoinositides, PI(4,5)P2. When bound to PI(4,5)P2, it is down- regulated. Expressed at high levels in the colon, testis, ovary, prostate and lung. Expressed at lower levels in the brain, bladder and heart. Not detected in liver. Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family. Twinfilin subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q12. Cellular Component: focal adhesion; myofibril; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cytoplasm; intercellular junction; filopodium; actin cytoskeleton. Molecular Function: actin monomer binding; phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding; protein-tyrosine kinase activity; ATP binding. Biological Process: negative regulation of actin filament polymerization; sequestering of actin monomers; regulation of actin phosphorylation
