Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within pharyngeal system development and sprouting angiogenesis. Is expressed in several structures, including mesenchyme; mesoderm; nervous system; neural crest; and pharyngeal arch. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Saethre-Chotzen syndrome; Sweeney-Cox syndrome; acrocephalosyndactylia; and craniosynostosis. Orthologous to human TWIST1 (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

we show that combinatorial loss of TCF12 and TWIST1 homologs in zebrafish also results in specific loss of the coronal suture
Title: Altered bone growth dynamics prefigure craniosynostosis in a zebrafish model of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome.
the ventral migration of Cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) away from a source of Bmps in the dorsal ectoderm promotes ectomesenchyme development by relieving Id2a-dependent repression of Twist1 function.
Title: Bmps and id2a act upstream of Twist1 to restrict ectomesenchyme potential of the cranial neural crest.
twist1a and twist1b control skeletal development and dorsoventral patterning by regulating runx2b in zebrafish
Title: Twist controls skeletal development and dorsoventral patterning by regulating runx2 in zebrafish.
These observations are consistent with a role for twist1 in craniofacial, vertebral, and early renal development.
Title: Zebrafish twist1 is expressed in craniofacial, vertebral, and renal precursors.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
