产品描述： background: This gene encodes a member of the Snail family of C2H2-type zinc finger transcription factors. The encoded protein

acts as a transcriptional repressor that binds to E-box motifs and is also likely to repress E-cadherin transcription in

breast carcinoma. This protein is involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transitions and has antiapoptotic activity.

Mutations in this gene may be associated with sporatic cases of neural tube defects. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
