Background
Twinfilin-1; also known as Protein A6; Protein tyrosine kinase 9; TWF1 and PTK9; is a cytoplasm protein which belongs to theactin-binding proteins ADF family and Twinfilin subfamily. Twinfilin-1 (TWF1 / PTK9 ) is a highly conserved actin monomer-binding protein that regulates cytoskeletal dynamics in organisms from yeast to mammals. In addition to the mammalian twinfilin-1; a second protein with approximately 65% sequence identity to twinfilin-1 exists in mouse and humans. TWF1 / PTK9 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 / PTK9 is an actin-binding protein involved in motile and morphological processes. It inhibits actin polymerization; likely by sequestering G-actin. By capping the barbed ends of filaments; it also regulates motility. TWF1 / PTK9 seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles.
