In this article, we will explore the impact and relevance of ZEB1 in various contexts. ZEB1 has been an object of study and interest throughout history, and its influence extends to different areas and disciplines. Since its appearance, ZEB1 has provoked debates, discussions and reflections, generating a wide spectrum of opinions and interpretations. Through rigorous analysis, we will examine the many facets of ZEB1, its evolution over time, and its importance today. This article seeks to provide a comprehensive and detailed view of ZEB1, with the aim of enriching and expanding knowledge on this topic.
Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZEB1gene.[5][6][7]
ZEB1 (previously known as TCF8) encodes a zinc finger and homeodomaintranscription 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.
