SGD DescriptionTwinfilin; highly conserved actin monomer-sequestering protein involved in regulation of the cortical actin cytoskeleton; coordinates actin filament severing and monomer sequestering at sites of rapid actin turnover; composed of two cofilin-like regions, localizes actin monomers to sites of rapid filament assembly
PomBase Descriptiontwinfilin (predicted)
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have actin filament binding, actin monomer binding activity and role in actin cortical patch organization, actin filament depolymerization, actin filament severing, sequestering of actin monomers
