Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays an important role in embryonic development. The encoded protein forms both homodimers and heterodimers that bind to DNA E box sequences and regulate the transcription of gen

Protein
UniProt ID Q15672
Protein name Twist-related protein 1 (Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 38) (bHLHa38) (H-twist)
Protein function 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
