Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in PHAL; PHAR; PHBL; PHBR; and amphid neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; oral mucosa leukoplakia; and piebaldism. Is an ortholog of human SNAI1 (snail family transcriptional repressor 1) and SNAI2 (snail family transcriptional repressor 2).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
