Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 23999 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables actin monomer binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in barbed-end actin filament capping and sequestering of actin monomers. Located in several cellular components, including lamellipodium; myofibril; and stereocilium. Is expressed in several structures, including ear; early embryo; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human TWF2 (twinfilin actin binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele are viable, fertile, and do not display obvious morphological or behavioral abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
