TWF2 Products

Description

TWF2, also known as Twinfilin-2, is a 349 amino acid protein that is 40 kDa, ubiquitously expressed at protein level, involved in motile and morphological processes, inhibits actin polymerization by sequestering G-actin, and regulates motility by capping the barbed ends. It seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles and participates in regulating the mature length of the middle and short rows of stereocilia. Current research is being performed on several diseases and disorders including monkeypox, cowpox, smallpox, vaccinia, meningioma, leukemia, and neuronitis. The TWF2 protein has shown an interaction with ARHGDIA, ACTR3B, CHGB, CAPZA1, and CAPZA2 in positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly, positive regulation of neuron projection development, cell projection organization, negative regulation of actin filament polymerization, and regulation of microvillus length pathways.
