Description
Predicted to have protein dimerization activity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Barber-Say syndrome; ablepharon macrostomia syndrome; and focal dermal hypoplasia. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; mesoderm; notochord; and tail bud. Orthologous to human TWIST2 (twist family bHLH transcription factor 2).
