Snail Family Zinc Finger 2 (SNAI2) Human Recombinant Protein

Snail2: Transcriptional repressor. Involved in the generation and migration of neural crest cells. Plays a role in mediating RAF1-induced transcriptional repression of the TJ protein, occludin (OCLN) and subsequent oncogenic transformation of epithelial cells. Interacts (via SNAG domain) with LIMD1 (via LIM domains), WTIP (via LIM domains) and AJUBA (via LIM domains). Expressed in placenta and adult heart, pancreas, liver, kidney and skeletal muscle. Belongs to the snail C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.

Protein type: Apoptosis; C2H2-type zinc finger protein; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Transcription factor
