Allograft inflammatory factor 1-like explained

Allograft inflammatory factor 1-like is a protein that is encoded by the AIF1L gene in humans.^{[1] [2]}

AIF1L is an actin-binding protein that promotes actin bundling. It may neither bind calcium nor depend on calcium for function.^[3] It has biased expression in kidney (RPKM 130.1), spleen (RPKM 121.3) and 8 other tissues.^[4]
