Recombinant Human Snail Family Zinc Finger 1

Source : Escherichia Coli. SNAI1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 287 amino acids (1-264 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 31.5kDa.SNAI1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Snail homolog 1 (SNAI1) is involved in induction of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), formation and maintenance of embryonic mesoderm, growth arrest, survival and cell migration. SNAI1 binds to 3 E-boxes of the E-cadherin gene promoter and represses its transcription. The nuclear protein encoded by SNAI1 is structurally identical to the Drosophila snail protein, and is considered as well to be vital for mesoderm formation in the developing embryo. At least two variants of a similar processed pseudogene have been found on chromosome 2. Among the diseases associated with SNAI1 are waardenburg syndrome type iid, and inappropriate adh syndrome.
