Snai2 - snail family transcriptional repressor 2

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in cellular response to fibroblast growth factor stimulus and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in chromatin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Waardenburg syndrome type 2D and piebaldism. Orthologous to human SNAI2 (snail family transcriptional repressor 2).
