Our results show that BMP binding is required for TWSG1-mediated inhibition of osteoclast formation and function, and validate the critical functional regions within the TWSG1 protein for these interactions

The goal of this study was to examine whether mice carrying a mutation in a gene encoding Twsg1, which is associated with a low penetrance of holoprosencephaly, are sensitized to retinoic acid teratogenesis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
