High impact information on Twf1

 

Biological context of Twf1

  • The identification of a potential actin/phosphoinositide binding domain and consensus phosphorylation sites, coupled with A6's expression in a variety of cell types suggest that the A6 gene product may play a role in basic cellular processes [6].
  • Here, we isolated a mouse A6 cDNA clone from a murine myeloid progenitor 32D cell library using a 1.1 kb cDNA probe containing the entire human A6 open reading frame (ORF) [6].
