TWIST, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, can regulate the human osteogenic lineage
15 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors have been shown to play an important role in controlling cell type determination and differentiation. TWIST, a member of the bHLH transcription factor family, is involved in the development of mesodermally derived tissue, including the skeleton. We examined the role of human TWIST in osteoblast metabolism using stable expression of sense and antisense TWIST in...
