Background

Twist-2 (Twist-related protein 2; also Dermo-1 and bHLHa39) is a 19-20 kDa Class B member of the bHLH transcription factor family of proteins. It is expressed in embryonic mesodermal and ectodermal derivatives, and is widely expressed in adult cells, including preosteoblasts, gastric chief cells, preadipocytes and myeloid progenitor cells. Twist-2 is a transcriptional repressor that heterodimerizes with multiple partners such as E12, SREBP1 and MEF2. Human Twist-2 is 160 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a bHLH domain (aa 65-122) with an embedded DNA-binding motif. Full length human Twist-2 shares 82% and 99% aa identity with human Twist-1 and mouse Twist-2, respectively.
