Abstract

The Snail superfamily of zinc-finger transcription factors is involved in processes that imply pronounced cell movements, both during embryonic development and in the acquisition of invasive and migratory properties during tumour progression. Different family members have also been implicated in the signalling cascade that confers left right identity, as well as in the formation of appendages, neural differentiation, cell division and cell survival.
