Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)

Enables several functions, including E-box binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; heart valve development; and negative regulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; limb morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and heart. Used to study Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sweeney-Cox syndrome; breast cancer (multiple); and synostosis (multiple). Orthologous to human TWIST1 (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1).
