Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZEB1 gene.[5][6][7]

ZEB1 (previously known as TCF8) encodes a

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.

Clinical significance

Mutations of the gene are linked to

epithelial to mesenchymal transition in breast and other carcinomas[9] A recent study suggested its contributing role in lung cancer invasiveness and metastasis development.[10] Overexpression of ZEB1 has been identified as a potential risk factor for recurrence and poor prognosis in several types of cancers.[11]
