Twinfilin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TWF1 gene.This gene encodes twinfilin an actin monomer-binding protein conserved from yeast to mammals. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this protein may be an actin monomer-binding protein and its localization to cortical G-actin-rich structures may be regulated by the small GTPase RAC1.
