ZEB1 Antibody

ZEB1 (zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox 1), also known as TCF8 (transcription factor 8), is a delta-EF1/ZFH-1 C2H2-type zinc finger that bears seven C2H2-type zinc fingers and one homeobox DNA-binding domain. ZEB1 is a transcriptional repressor of interleukin-2 (IL-2). Mutations in the ZEB1 gene are associated with posterior corneal dystrophy type 3 (PPC3) a rare disorder characterized by metaplasia and overgrowth of corneal endothelial cells. ZEB1 appears to be critical to epithelial to mesenchymal transitions (EMT) during development and cancer metastasis. As a transcription factor involved in EMT, ZEB1 promotes EMT by repressing genes associated with the epithelial phenotype and activates genes associated with the mesenchymal phenotype.

Alternative names for ZEB1 Antibody include NIL-2-A zinc finger protein antibody, negative regulator of IL2 antibody, AREB6 antibody, zfhx1a antibody, deltaEF1 antibody, zfhep antibody, BZP antibody.
