Comments
Snail is a transcription factor that represses the expression of E-cadherin. Repression of E-cadherin allows cells to detach from their neighbors and migrate. It is also relevant in the late steps of epithelial tumorigenesis. A leucine rich NES is located at the N-terminal regulatory region of Snail, which is functional when serines in the SRD domain (90-120) are phosphorylated. This may explain why different localization of Snail was observed in different cell line.

User Input
Accurate identification of NESs is difficult because many sequences in the genome match the NES consensus. Therefore, some published NESs may be mistakenly identified. Please help us improve the accuracy of NESdb by providing either a positive or negative flag for the NES in this entry. Supporting comments are required to process the flag.
