Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The sal C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family comprises transcription factors involved in a variety of developmental processes across different species. Members of the family play crucial roles in organogenesis, such as kidney development and eye formation, and are essential for the maintenance and self-renewal of embryonic and hematopoietic stem cells. Some proteins within this family act as transcriptional repressors, while others are involved in cell-fate regulation, including neuronal, mesodermal, and vulval lineages. They are characterized by their ability to bind to multiple DNA sequence motifs and modulate gene expression, often interacting with other transcription factors. Additionally, they are implicated in the regulation of detoxification pathways and the control of morphogenesis and virulence in certain species.
