Human Twinfilin-1 (TWF1) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: TWF1 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. The deduced 350-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 40.3 kD. TWF1 has an N-myristoylation site and several sites for threonine, serine, and tyrosine phosphorylation, but it lacks a conserved protein kinase catalytic domain. Northern blot analysis detected a 3.4-kb transcript that was highly expressed in colon, testis, uterus, ovary, prostate, and lung. Lower expression was detected in brain, bladder, and heart, and no expression was detected in liver.

Uniprot Description
A6: 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-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles. Interacts with G-actin; ADP-actin form and capping protein (CP). May also be able to interact with TWF2 and phosphoinositides, PI(4,5)P2. When bound to PI(4,5)P2, it is down- regulated. Expressed at high levels in the colon, testis, ovary, prostate and lung. Expressed at lower levels in the brain, bladder and heart. Not detected in liver. Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family. Twinfilin subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human TWF1 twf1 (Catalog #AAA9713783) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9713783 ELISA Kit recognizes Human TWF1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Twinfilin-1 (TWF1), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
