ZEB1 (previously known as TCF8) encodes a zinc finger and homeodomain transcription factor that represses T-lymphocyte-specific IL2 gene expression by binding to a negative regulatory domain 100 nucleotides 5-prime of the IL2 transcription start site.[7][6] ZEB1 and its mammalian paralog ZEB2 belongs to the Zeb family within the ZF (zinc finger) class of homeodomain transcription factors. ZEB1 protein has seven zinc fingers and one homeodomain.[8] The structure of the homeodomain is shown on the right.
Mutations of the gene are linked to posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 3. ZEB1 downregulates E-cadherin and induces epithelial to mesenchymal transition in breast and other carcinomas[9] A recent study suggested its contributing role in lung cancer invasiveness and metastasis development.[10] Overexpression of ZEB1 has been identified as a potential risk factor for recurrence and poor prognosis in several types of cancers.[11]
