Type:
SIP1 (Smad Interacting Protein 1, also known as ZEB2).
ZEB2 (Zinc Finger E-Box Binding Homeobox 2) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression, particularly in the context of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer progression.
ZEB2 has been found to be overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer.
