What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:
- The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
- High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- Improved sensitivity and specificity
- Long-term security of supply
- Animal-free batch production

The Twist protein also known as Twist1 is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor. It has a molecular mass of approximately 21 kDa. Twist is widely expressed in mesodermal tissues during embryonic development including the somites and limb buds. In adults its expression continues in areas involved in tissue regeneration and wound healing.
Biological function summary
Twist plays significant roles in embryogenesis and in wound healing processes. It functions as an important regulator of mesenchymal cell differentiation and is part of the bHLH family of transcription factors which often form dimers to bind specific DNA sequences. Twist modulates the transcription of genes involved in cell movement and survival. It acts as an important player in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) a process important for development and cellular dynamics.
Pathways
Twist integrates into multiple biological networks including the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways. It interacts with proteins like β-catenin in the Wnt pathway and Notch receptors impacting cellular proliferation and fate determination. These interactions highlight its role in regulating cellular behavior and influence various processes such as stem cell maintenance and differentiation.
Twist is implicated in cancer and fibrosis. Its overexpression is often observed in aggressive tumors influencing metastasis through its role in EMT. Twist can interact with oncogenic proteins such as MYC in cancer pathways. In fibrosis aberrant Twist activity leads to excessive tissue remodeling and accumulation of connective tissue. Understanding Twist's function and interactions can aid in developing therapeutic strategies targeting these conditions.
