Abstract: Given a slice regular function $f:OmegasubsetmathbbHomathbbH$, with $OmegacapmathbbReqemptyset$, it is possible to lift it to a surface in the twistor space $mathbb{CP}^3$ of $mathbb{S}^{4}simeqmathbbHcupinfty$ (see~cite{gensalsto}). In this paper we show that the same result is true if one removes the hypothesis $OmegacapmathbbReqemptyset$ on the domain of the function $f$. Moreover we find that if a surface $mathcalSsubsetmathbb{CP}^3$ contains the image of the twistor lift of a slice regular function, then $mathcalS$ has to be ruled by lines. Starting from these results we find all the projective classes of algebraic surfaces up to degree 3 in $mathbb{CP}^3$ that contain the lift of a slice regular function. In addition we extend and further explore the so-called twistor transform, that is a curve in $mathbbG{r}_2(mathbb{C}^4)$ which, given a slice regular function, returns the arrangement of lines whose lift carries on. With the explicit expression of the twistor lift and of the twistor transform of a slice regular function we exhibit the set of slice regular functions whose twistor transform describes a rational line inside $mathbbG{r}_2(mathbb{C}^4)$, showing the role of slice regular functions not defined on $mathbbR$. At the end we study the twistor lift of a particular slice regular function not defined over the reals. This example shows the effectiveness of our approach and opens some questions.
