Facts about Twist-related protein 2.
Involved in postnatal glycogen storage and energy metabolism. Inhibits the premature or ectopic differentiation of preosteoblast cells during osteogenesis, possibly by changing the internal signal transduction response of osteoblasts to external growth factors (By similarity).

Expressed at low levels in sclerotome and dermatome of somites, and in limb buds at 10.5 dpc. Accumulates predominantly in dermatome, prevertebrae and derivatives of branchial arches by 13 dpc. Also expressed near surface of embryo and in chondrogenic cells. In adult, expressed at low levels in skin, bladder, uterus, aorta and heart.
