The UniProt recommended name is Twisted gastrulation protein homolog 1 (TWSG1). This glycoprotein interacts with BMP ligands and antagonists to fine-tune morphogen gradients during organogenesis and cellular differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, TWSG1 antibody identifies a 223-amino-acid secreted protein that forms complexes with Chordin and BMPs (including BMP2, BMP4, and BMP7), modulating the bioavailability and receptor binding of BMP ligands. TWSG1 can either inhibit or enhance BMP signaling depending on tissue context, concentration, and association with proteases such as tolloid metalloproteinases. It contributes to dorsoventral patterning, skeletal formation, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance by maintaining optimal BMP activity levels during development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TWSG1 gene is located on chromosome 18p11.21 and is expressed in a variety of embryonic and adult tissues including brain, kidney, bone, and reproductive organs. Expression is dynamically regulated by growth factors, Wnt signaling, and retinoic acid, ensuring coordinated morphogenic signaling across developing tissues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, mutations or reduced expression of TWSG1 cause craniofacial malformations and developmental defects due to disrupted BMP gradients. Altered TWSG1 signaling has also been implicated in cancer, fibrosis, and abnormal bone remodeling. Overexpression may contribute to tumor progression by influencing extracellular matrix deposition and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Research using TWSG1 antibody supports studies in developmental biology, morphogen signaling, and cancer research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTWSG1 antibody is validated for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA to detect secreted morphogen modulators. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, Twisted gastrulation protein homolog 1 contains two cysteine-rich domains stabilized by disulfide bonds, essential for ligand binding and signaling modulation. These domains enable interactions with both BMPs and their inhibitors, allowing TWSG1 to function as a molecular switch in morphogen networks. This antibody enables exploration of TWSG1's role in extracellular signaling, organ patterning, and skeletal formation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence:\u003c\/strong\u003e visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=TWSG1 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=TWSG1 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=TWSG1 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/TWSG1 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=TWSG1+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047318544749,"sku":"FY13220","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_9f27df73-1de0-4848-bc22-19a41d902604.jpg?v=1782237077","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/twsg1-antibody-twisted-gastrulation-protein-homolog-1-bha17136122","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
