MeSH definition : A twist family transcription factor that is expressed in MESODERM as well as the DERMIS
during mammalian EMBRYOGENESIS. It is structurally and functionally similar to TWIST-RELATED
PROTEIN 1; it also regulates OSTEOGENESIS and the expression of CYTOKINES in response
to INFLAMMATION.;
MeSH synonym : Twist Related Protein 2; TWIST2 Protein; Dermo-1 Protein; Dermo 1 Protein; Twist Family Bhlh Transcription Factor 2;
