Zinc finger protein SNAI2 (SNAI2)

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 following oncogenic transformation of epithelial cells (By similarity).

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.
