Scientific Data Images for Human Twist-1 Antibody

Detection of Human Twist-1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Twist‑1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line and PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Twist-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6230R) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Twist-1 at approximately 23 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Twist-1 antibody in A549 Human Cell Line antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of Twist‑1 in A549 Human Cell Line by Flow Cytometry.

A549 human lung carcinoma cell line was stained with Mouse Anti-Human Twist-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6230R, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB002, open histogram) followed by PE-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with FlowX FoxP3 Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Kit (Catalog # FC012).

Background: Twist-1

Twist-1 (Twist-related protein 1; also H-Twist and bHLHa38) is a 25‑27 kDa class B member of the bHLH transcription factor family of proteins. It is widely expressed in embryo, and select adult cells such as white adipocytes. In fat, Twist-1 induces fatty acid oxidation via PGC-1 alpha and CPT-1, and promotes MCP-1 and TNF-alpha secretion by adipocytes. In epithelium, Twist-1 dysregulation represses E-Cadherin and induces N-Cadherin expression, resulting in an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition that can lead to cancer. Human Twist-1 is 202 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a bHLH domain (aa 109-164) with an embedded DNA-binding motif. Twist-1 forms homodimers, and heterodimerizes with TCF3, HAND 1 and HAND 2. Two distinct mutations exist that may impact its dimerization pattern. There is one seven aa insertion after Ile135, and a second seven aa insertion after Pro139. A third unrelated variant shows a four Gly insert after Gly92. Full-length human Twist-1 shares 98% aa identity with mouse Twist-1.
