A deletion in the polyglutamine region was associated with risk for thyroid carcinoma. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]. * **UniProt Summary**: Involved in the negative regulation of epithelial- mesenchymal transition, the process by which epithelial cells lose their polarity and adhesion properties to become mesenchymal cells with enhanced migration and invasive properties. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28011713}. |HLH| |negative regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition| |regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition| |protein dimerization activity| |negative regulation of cell differentiation| |negative regulation of developmental process| |negative regulation of multicellular organismal process| |DNA binding| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |regulation of cell differentiation| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp89|Vemurafenib 6.6μM R02 exp89]]|2.44| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
