Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its interaction with the catalytic domain of protein kinase C-zeta. The encoded protein contains an actin-binding site and an ATP-binding site. It is most closely related to twinfilin (PTK9), a conserved

Protein
UniProt ID Q6IBS0
Protein name Twinfilin-2 (A6-related protein) (hA6RP) (Protein tyrosine kinase 9-like) (Twinfilin-1-like protein)
Protein function Actin-binding protein involved in motile and morphological processes. Inhibits actin polymerization, likely by sequestering G-actin. By capping the barbed ends of filaments, it also regulates motility. Seems to play an important role in clathrin
