Recombinant Human Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P37275

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ZEB1

Target Full Name

Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1

Target Function

Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Inhibits interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene expression. Enhances or represses the promoter activity of the ATP1A1 gene depending on the quantity of cDNA and on the cell type. Represses E-cadherin promoter and induces an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by recruiting SMARCA4/BRG1. Represses BCL6 transcription in the presence of the corepressor CTBP1. Positively regulates neuronal differentiation. Represses RCOR1 transcription activation during neurogenesis. Represses transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3'). Promotes tumorigenicity by repressing stemness-inhibiting microRNAs.

Target Involvement

Corneal dystrophy, posterior polymorphous, 3 (PPCD3); Corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 6 (FECD6)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Delta-EF1/ZFH-1 C2H2-type zinc-finger family

Target Tissue Specificity

Colocalizes with SMARCA4/BRG1 in E-cadherin-negative cells from established lines, and stroma of normal colon as well as in de-differentiated epithelial cells at the invasion front of colorectal carcinomas (at protein level). Expressed in heart and skelet

Target Background

This gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor. The encoded protein likely plays a role in transcriptional repression of interleukin 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy-3 and late-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
