MeSH definition : A transcription factor that consists of 8 CYS2-HIS2 ZINC FINGERS flanking a central
HOMEOBOX. It binds to the 5'-CACCT-3' DNA sequence located within E-BOX ELEMENTS of
many genes essential for embryonic growth and development and regulates their activity;
it represses transcription of the E-CADHERIN gene. Mutations in the ZEB2 gene are
associated with MOWAT-WILSON SYNDROME.;
MeSH synonym : Zinc Finger E box Binding Homeobox 2; Zinc Finger E-box Binding Homeobox 2 Protein; Zinc Finger E box Binding Homeobox 2 Protein; Zeb2 Transcription Factor; Transcription Factor, Zeb2; Smad-Interacting Protein 1; Smad Interacting Protein 1;
