Zeb1 - zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1

Enables chromatin binding activity; double-stranded DNA binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to activity. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 3. Orthologous to human ZEB1 (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1).
