ZEB1 zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1

Gene ID: 6935, updated on 10-Dec-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BZP; TCF8; AREB6; FECD6; NIL2A; PPCD3; ZFHEP; ZFHX1A; DELTAEF1

Summary

This gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor. The encoded protein likely plays a role in transcriptional repression of interleukin 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy-3 and late-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
