- Description
- Enables cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; pharyngeal system development; and regulation of bone mineralization. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; cranial vault; mesoderm; and pharyngeal arch. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sweeney-Cox syndrome; breast cancer (multiple); and synostosis (multiple). Orthologous to human TWIST1 (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1).
