Gene: SNAI1

Alternate names for this Gene: SLUGH2|SNA|SNAH|SNAIL|SNAIL1|dJ710H13.1

Gene Summary: The Drosophila embryonic protein snail is a zinc finger transcriptional repressor which downregulates the expression of ectodermal genes within the mesoderm. The nuclear protein encoded by this gene is structurally similar to the Drosophila snail protein, and is also thought to be critical for mesoderm formation in the developing embryo. At least two variants of a similar processed pseudogene have been found on chromosome 2.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q13.13

Description of this Gene: snail family transcriptional repressor 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
