TWIST2, Control Peptide (Twist-related Protein 2, Class A Basic Helix-loop-helix Protein 39, bHLHa39

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors have been implicated in cell lineage determination and differentiation. The protein encoded by Twist gene is a bHLH transcription factor and shares similarity with another bHLH transcription factor, Twist. It is thought that during osteoblast development this protein may inhibit osteoblast maturation and maintain cells in a preosteoblast phenotype. Twist and Dermo1, also called Twist1 and Twist2 respectively, were induced by a cytokine signaling pathway that required the dorsal-related protein Rela, a member of the nuclear factor kappa-B family of transcription factors, in mice. Twist1 and Twist2 repressed cytokine gene expression through interaction with Rela. TWIST proteins regulate cytokine signaling by establishing a negative feedback loop that represses the NFKB-dependent cytokine pathway. , Source:, Synthetic peptide corresponding to 20aa of mouse Twist2, N-terminal.
