ZEB2 zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2

Gene ID: 9839, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SIP1; SIP-1; ZFHX1B; HSPC082; SMADIP1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Zfh1 family of 2-handed zinc finger/homeodomain proteins. It is located in the nucleus and functions as a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor that interacts with activated SMADs. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hirschsprung disease/Mowat-Wilson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
