Cloning of the human twist gene: Its expression is retained in adult mesodermally-derived tissues
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported on the isolation of several differentially expressed genes derived from young and senescent non growing WI-38 human fetal lung-derived fibroblasts. A 0.8-kb cDNA clone, isolate EPC-A2 (early population doubling cDNA-A2), encodes the 3' end of the human homolog of the Twist protein. Twist genes encode basic helix-loop-helix DNA-binding transcription factors that play crucial roles in...
