Twinfilin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TWF1 gene.^[5]^[6] 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.^[6]
