Facts about Zinc finger protein SNAI2.
Represses BRCA2 expression by binding to its E2- box-containing silencer and recruitment CTBP1 and HDAC1 in breast tissues. In epidermal keratinocytes, binds to the E-box in ITGA3 promoter and represses its transcription.

Expressed in most adult human tissues, including spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Not detected in peripheral blood leukocyte. Expressed in the dermis and in all layers of the epidermis, with high levels of expression in the basal layers (at protein level). Expressed in osteoblasts (at protein level). Expressed in mesenchymal stem cells (at protein level). Expressed in breast tumor cells (at protein level).
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Observed in discrete foci in interphase nuclei. These nuclear foci do not overlap with the nucleoli, the SP100 and the HP1 heterochromatin or the coiled body, suggesting SNAI2 is associated with active transcription or active splicing regions.
