snai-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in PHAL; PHAR; PHBL; PHBR; and amphid neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; oral mucosa leukoplakia; and piebaldism. Is an ortholog of human SNAI1 (snail family transcriptional repressor 1) and SNAI2 (snail family transcriptional repressor 2).
