Summary: Predicted to enable actin binding activity; anion binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin filament depolymerization; negative regulation of actin filament polymerization; and positive regulation of cell projection organization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including growth cone; lamellipodium; and stereocilium. Predicted to be active in actin filament and myofibril. Orthologous to human TWF2 (twinfilin actin binding protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

like Twf1, mouse Twf2 is a filament barbed-end capping protein, and that two tissue-specific and biochemically distinct isoforms are generated from the Twf2 gene through alternative promoter usage.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
