| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial to mesenchymal transition involved in endocardial cushion formation; heterochromatin organization; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hair follicle morphogenesis; negative regulation of cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development; and trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and pericentric heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy and skin cancer. Orthologous to human SNAI1 (snail family transcriptional repressor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lethality by E8.5, reduced size, and abnormal mesoderm development. [provided by MGI curators] |
