Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including desmosome disassembly; endocardial cushion formation; and negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on chromatin organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell adhesion involved in substrate-bound cell migration; negative regulation of hematopoietic stem cell proliferation; and positive regulation of fat cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Waardenburg syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in piebaldism. Orthologous to human SNAI2 (snail family transcriptional repressor 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
