Specificity

Good controls are NIH3T3 and A2058 cell lysates. Given that the immunogen shares 92% homology with Twist2, it is possible that it may cross-react.Although some customers have obtained good results in IHC, we do not recommend this antibody for use in IHC.

Supplementary information

The Twist protein also known as Twist1 is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor. It has a molecular mass of approximately 21 kDa. Twist is widely expressed in mesodermal tissues during embryonic development including the somites and limb buds. In adults its expression continues in areas involved in tissue regeneration and wound healing.
Biological function summary

Twist plays significant roles in embryogenesis and in wound healing processes. It functions as an important regulator of mesenchymal cell differentiation and is part of the bHLH family of transcription factors which often form dimers to bind specific DNA sequences. Twist modulates the transcription of genes involved in cell movement and survival. It acts as an important player in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) a process important for development and cellular dynamics.

Pathways

Twist integrates into multiple biological networks including the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways. It interacts with proteins like Β-catenin in the Wnt pathway and Notch receptors impacting cellular proliferation and fate determination. These interactions highlight its role in regulating cellular behavior and influence various processes such as stem cell maintenance and differentiation.

Twist is implicated in cancer and fibrosis. Its overexpression is often observed in aggressive tumors influencing metastasis through its role in EMT. Twist can interact with oncogenic proteins such as MYC in cancer pathways. In fibrosis aberrant Twist activity leads to excessive tissue remodeling and accumulation of connective tissue. Understanding Twist's function and interactions can aid in developing therapeutic strategies targeting these conditions.

Target data

Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Inhibits myogenesis by sequestrating E proteins, inhibiting trans-activation by MEF2, and inhibiting DNA-binding by MYOD1 through physical interaction. This interaction probably involves the basic domains of both proteins. Also represses expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFA and IL1B. Regulates cranial suture patterning and fusion. Activates transcription as a heterodimer with E proteins. Regulates gene expression differentially, depending on dimer composition. Homodimers induce expression of FGFR2 and POSTN while heterodimers repress FGFR2 and POSTN expression and induce THBS1 expression. Heterodimerization is also required for osteoblast differentiation. Represses the activity of the circadian transcriptional activator : NPAS2-BMAL1 heterodimer (By similarity).
