Transcription factor that promotes tumor invasion and metastasis by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in carcinoma cells.
Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in various biological processes, including embryonic development, cell differentiation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

By repressing epithelial markers (e.g., E-cadherin) and promoting mesenchymal genes, Zeb1 facilitates cell migration, invasion, and metastasis.

Cancers (such as breast, colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancers), Zeb1 is frequently upregulated. Zeb1 may be more prominent in specific tumor regions (e.g., invasive fronts) where EMT is actively occurring.
High levels of Zeb1 have been correlated with poor patient outcomes in multiple cancers.
