Gene Information

human ... TWIST1(7291)

General description

Twist1 is the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that regulates embryonic progenitor and transformed tumor cell proliferation, migration and differentiation and is also important in limb development. It has been shown that twist1 expression is high in patients suffering from rheumatic inflammatory disorders with chronically activated T helper lymphocytes and may be used as a biomarker for chronic t-cell activation. Mutations in twist1 are often associated with craniofacial and limb abnormalities in humans with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. Twist1 dimer affinity can modify the DNA binding affinity. Twist1 has also been implicated as a promoter of tumor growth, invasion and anti-cancer-drug resistance.

Specificity

Other homologies: Rat (92% sequence homology).
This antibody recognizes Twist1 near the N-terminus.

Immunogen

Epitope: Near N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Twist1 near the N-terminus.

Therapeutic intervention in metastatic medulloblastoma is dependent on elucidating the underlying metastatic mechanism. We investigated whether an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like pathway could drive medulloblastoma metastasis. A 3D Basement Membrane Extract (3D-BME) model was used to investigate medulloblastoma cell migration. Cell
