Background
Human SCRT cDNA encodes a protein of 348 amino acids expressed predominantly in the brain and spinal cord, but also in retina and in neuroendocrine cells of the lung. SCRT expression by RT-PCR is observed in lung cancers with neuroendocrine features. This protein holds in common with other Snail family members the ability to bind to E-box enhancer motifs, which are targets of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. SCRT impairs heterodimeric proneural bHLH protein achaete-scute homolog-1 and E12, leading to active transcriptional repression at E-box motifs. SCRT has been postulated to function in newly differentiating, postmitotic neurons and in cancers with neuroendocrine features by modulating the action of bHLH transcription factors pivotal to neuronal differentiation.
