Human TWF1/Twinfilin Recombinant Protein

Twinfilin-1; also known as Protein A6; Protein tyrosine kinase 9; TWF1 and PTK9; is a cytoplasm protein which belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family and Twinfilin subfamily. Twinfilin-1 is an actin monomer-binding protein that controls cytoskeletal motion in yeasts to humans. In addition to the mammalian twinfilin-1; a second protein with approximately 65% sequence identity to twinfilin-1 exists in mouse and humans. TWF1 is expressed at high levels in the colon; testis; ovary; prostate and lung. It is expressed at lower levels in the brain; bladder and heart. It is not detected in liver. TWF1 is an actin-binding protein involved in motile and morphological processes. It inhibits actin polymerization; likely by sequestering G-actin. It also controls motility by closing the barb ends of filaments. TWF1 seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles. Human TWF1/Twinfilin Recombinant Protein is a highly pure recombinant protein developed by Assay Genie for use in a range of applications.
